2016 Chaparral H2O 21 with a mercruiser inboard. I took the throttle handle apart to check the switch itself, but there was nothing obvious there. I also pushed all the reset switches underneath the helm. I want to check to see if it's a fuse, but I can't find a fuse box anywhere on the boat. A little help please?

Look for an inline fuse, start at the pump, that is where I found mine.
 
So, when you say pump, which are you referring to? I found a fuse next to a hydraulic pump in the compartment behind the battery, but I had assumed that was a steering pump and didn't look at it. Perhaps I assumed wrong?
 
Yes it is the hydraulic pump and that should be the fuse. The power steering pump is on your engine.
 
The fuse was fine. But when I replaced the battery earlier, I missed the pump cable that connects to the negative terminal. All good now, thanks for your help.
 
(Old school), first place to look is where someone may have worked on it. We have all been there. Welcome aboard!
 
I had this problem before. With many wires off the same post, I would tape or wire tie them in a bundle. Its just too easy to miss one.

I do that with all of my + and - wires going to each of my batteries, and I tag them.
