Replacing Breaker in 120 Volt Panel!!!!

Post by Jeepmanking »

I made a YouTube video of me replacing breaker in the 120 volt panel with aftermarket marine/RV breaker. Hope this helps someone with their Marinette.

Why didn't you use an original style breaker?

Airpax breakers seem to work well.

While you are in there check for hardened/slightly melted spade connectors. I have replaced several over the years that got a little warm for a bit too long. Generally the water heater, AC, refer etc.
Seems like electrical was not a factory specialty back in the 70s/80s.

Electrical shortcomings long have been documented. A flaw in otherwise outstanding boat. One area wired dangerously was/is the ungrounded circuit feeding the valance lighting on the sides of the cabin.

If you look closer during the video you will see lower on the panel the same style of breakers that I installed. Sometime in the last 35 years some breakers were replaced to this bolt in style. I am making at least one side of panel look the same, a little OCD, I guess. Lol.
