Re: circuit breaker

I went ahead and bought a 6 switch panel with circuit breakers for each switch for my project, since I needed new switches anyway. $40 someting bucks from Overtons, not a lot to spend for peace of mind, and it is brainless to set up. I think they may have individual switches, but you might as well upgrade the whole system while you are at it.

Re: circuit breaker

my instrument panel has all the breakers, but the one for the bilge pump is shot. it's a 2 amp push button, the cutout is 3/8". the lowest rated one i've seen is 5 amp, but the pump is rated for 2 amps. any ideas?

Re: circuit breaker

Get a bigger bilge pump that draws more amps to match your breaker? Just a thought......SS
