Power to Kenwood stereo on 360 Express

[Transom]

Has anyone chased no power to the stereo? Fuse panel is all good, no power at the back of the unit. Could there be an in-line fuse buried behind the refrigerator?

If there is a fuse, my guess is it will be at the head unit and was provided with the unit. I'd check the power to the head unit and see if you have voltage. It's either that or a bad unit.
My Kenwood did not have a fuse at the head unit end.

Not sure how the 360 is set up, but if it is similar to the 330, (and a previous owner has not muddled with things) the stereo power comes from the main AC/DC panel in cabin. Remove this and validate that the switch is good. If switch is good, and it is wired as mine is, the problem is between the switch and the radio.

Has work been done on the boat recently? Did the radio work previously? More background will help us provide advice.

My 305 has a inline fuse in rats nest of wiring behind the stereo head unit itself. It was concealed pretty good, and I didn't see it at first. In my case it was a dealer installed fusion unit.

If you take the measurement at the back of the unit, it's either the line or a fuse in the line OR the unit itself. See if there is a connector at the back of the unit, break it and measure between power and ground.
