I had the same thing...voltmeter showed a full charge but fishfinder wouldn't power up and engine wouldn't start...cranked once and then nothing. Found a loose negative terminal connection, wing nut had backed off about 1/4 turn. Tightened it up and everything worked fine. Now it's part of my pre-launch routine to check the wing nuts. I hope this helps.
