" The first thing I noticed was that only three out of the nine fuse ports had power on the input side ( the ones under the green line). The other six ports under my red line did not have power."
There are two positive wires from the converter, red and blue. One for the 6 and one for the 3. The 3 use the battery to filter those circuits, and those three had power.
All 9 should have battery power if the converter is not on. Trouble shooting should reveal how that can be.
If you replace the converter with a newer type and want to use that same circuit board, you must "jumper" the red and blue connections so the one blue wire from the new converter can power all 9 circuits.
Newer converters have "clean power" so they don't need the battery to act as a filter.
The 6300 circuit board does not have those two 30a RP fuses like the 7300 board does. I don't know how RP is handled. I replaced my 6300 with a deck mount converter that has its own RP fuses, and kept the 6300 circuit board with jumper.
