How did you check battery. If you didn’t charge then load test no way to really know.
Was fishing for couple of hours and looked down and my depth finder was blank. Checked battery it was good. tried to start the boat and it was dead, power tilt was also out. Fuses all checked out, changed tilt switch on bow of the boat where depth finder connects nothing. Trolling motor works and switches that control circulation pumps work. HELP !

Bad wire going to the motor?

What they said. How do you know the battery is really good? There are only a very finite number of things that could be going on here. 1. Bad battery. 2. Bad wire between the battery and the motor. 3. Bad switch in between.
A test light would help trace it down pretty quickly

Sounds like you might have lost ground at engine. Check your ground cable.....the end that fastens to your engine block....undo the bolt that holds it down scrape end of cable clean and also the engine block where it makes contact.....reconnect. Also....another thing to check....there is a fuse underneath the cowl on the engine.....normally a inline fuse.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

do you have an inline breaker on positive battery cable for cranking battery, maybe tripped and needs manual reset

Only one battery? That’s a lot for one battery to deal with.
