Lost power to Stbd engine Penta 377

Coming across the lake today I heard an alarm. All gauges looked good but I shut down. When I went to restart I had no power to my stbd side. Power steering, trim, drives, etc. no gauges and ignition is silent. Feel like it is a fuse but I think I have checked them all. Any ideas?
 
I'd start at the beginning. Check your battery or batteries. Make sure they're good. Maybe pull them and have them tested for free at the local auto parts store. Or do it yourself if you have a test meter, etc..
Or just remove the battery cables, clean (Shiney clean) and re-tighten positive and negative. If that doesn't do it, work your way forward to the fuse panel and check your hot and ground terminals, etc.. Same process, clean them and re-tighten.
That's where I'd start--it may or may not fix the problem, but at least you've eliminated the simple stuff first.

Forgot to mention. It might be a "new fangled" engine shut-down device that kicked in, to prevent problems. That would be beyond my limited knowledge. I work with the old and relatively simple stuff. I'm sure someone else might know what it could be.
