New Battery no electrics!

[The Edges]

Fitted a new battery on the boat today
Whilst the engine starts and dials are fine there is no juice going to the GPS, VHF, FF, bilge pump etc
I have connected all the leads up to the battery as per previous
The old battery went completely flat
Any clues
Cheers

You have missed one, or an earth, check the fuse box wires to the battery. However there is a possibility that they have wired the accessories of the ignition wire of the engine which will require the key to be turned on. Prefer to wire from the battery personally.

Is the boat at home, you have just under an hour before it goes dark, so no pressure
