PUT THE TOOT BACK IN YOUR LIFE
I would suggest you get yourself an inexpensive VOLT OHM METER and keep it on the boat. Less then $20. The button is a switch and since it works off the boat it's probably OK. Coming up to the button should be a hot wire. Put the VOM on 12 DC volts and touch both of the leads. If you get nothing, Put your BLK vom lead on a ground on your distribution panal. If one of the wires shows 12 V you have your hot lead and the problem is in your ground. Rewire the other lead. If neither wire shows 12V your not getting any juice. Go back to the distribution panel and pick up a new hot lead. Make sure it's fused. Most of the time these"opens" are caused by corrosion on one of the connectors or possibly a loose coonector. Bad groung connections are the most common on cars as well.
Good luck and let me know how you make out.
