This being an older boat out of the blue I have inoperable switches.
Currently horn works, nav and anchor lights work...
Bilge and washdown/aerator inoperable....
I was using washdown and withing 15 seconds it went dead.
In the past I could wiggle connections behind console and things would go back to working.
A main question I have now is are the orange larger sized wires running bottom of breakers hot? Or neautral.
I note the only one hot with a test light is at the horn above the large orange.
It's a smaller orange.
I think I've come to realize that my brown white brown blue are the bilge and wash down.
They are dead....out of the blue.
Help.
Thanks in advance
Fuse ccx at battery is good.

The toggle switches are daisy chained (one feeds the next). The orange wires should be the hot wires. If reseting the breaker under the toggles didn't help, you probably have a bad connection where one of the orange wires jumps from one switch to the next. Find voltage at the switch closest to the main power wire (red) and follow it from there to find the bad connection.
