Circuit breakers
Circuit breakers
Replacing rusted and corroded circuit breakers. I stupidly removed them before writing down which one went where. There are 3. One for the amp, which is 20 amp. The other two are for the bilge pump and the helm. They are 30 amp and 40 amp circuit breakers (attached photo). But know I don't where the 30 amp goes or where the 40 amp goes. Help?!?

Re: Circuit breakers
.
What brand bilge pump does your boat use? I believe Rhule makes a 40 amp pump with a float switch. Sea flow makes a 30 amp pump.
Maybe that can help narrow it down.

Re: Circuit breakers
My 2007 240 has the 40 Amp circuit breaker labeled โHelmโ and the 30 Amp breaker labeled โBilgeโ.

Re: Circuit breakers
Year and model of your boat might help. Closer to BBP or Titaniumboy?

Re: Circuit breakers
Good point. 2003 Cobalt 240. Same model as Titanium. Closer to Big Block's year.
It's the grand mystery for the new year.

Re: Circuit breakers
Were the wires sized differently? The larger wire should be on the 40 Amp breaker.

Re: Circuit breakers
Do you know what each wire powers? Just from that you should be able to figure it out.

Re: Circuit breakers
Larger wire goes to the helm so based on that and Titanium boy's post I think I successfully narrowed them both down. Thanks fellas.
