I may have to replace this...whats it called? Everything fine when winterized.Now my Yamaha OX66 on my Grady starts and tilts fine but nothing else is working.Is this a main breaker?? Resettable or replace?? Puzzled . Charlie

I would use a meter to see if power is not passing before replacing

It's most likely just a standard push button breaker under the cover

That is the circuit breaker for the main power of the boat. Trim power comes off the motor side.

Pretty robust. Have not had an issue with mine. Pull the two screws on the transom and put a meter across the terminals on the back.

It's on there for an unexpected current surge. If that happens the internal circuit breaker opens. As alldodge said, the button is to reset it. Before you go to a lot of trouble push it and see if it resets. If so, fine. If not one of 2 reasons: Broken internal switch, or continuous current overload.

Thanks, kinda weird that all was fine when winterized and it's just been sitting. Puzzling but will check .Thanks Charlie

Not much room without removing a battery but the connections inside the breaker that I can see are pretty crusty looking. What setting does multimeter go.on for a test? I have a Greenlee DM55 ,I'm thinking V--20? Never used a meter before. Lol. Will try to post a pic of crusty breaker

I did get readings at that setting on the meter.
