While doing some unrelated maintenance on the house battery and mid-ship bilge pump of my 2004 Flush Deck 28TE... I came across a badly corroded grounding bus-bar and what looks like an automotive auto-reset circuit breaker...
I attached a pic of what one that is NOT corroded looks like.
I also found two more in behind the helm console...
They look like original equipment... not added later... can't be sure though...
So now the questions:
- these look like automotive parts... with no business in a boat... your thoughts?
- Any idea what amperage the one located near the large house battery might be?
- What sort of circuit protection should be installed in place of this automotive part?

Re: Auto Re-set circuit breakers
Auto-resetting breakers are verboten under ABYC E-11 standards so I doubt if Albin installed them, unless ignoring the standards when building the boat....
Without knowing what they are used for it is hard to say which OCPD to use...
