Circuit breakers

Post by nlmajors »

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?!?

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. ๐Ÿค”

My 2007 240 has the 40 Amp circuit breaker labeled โ€œHelmโ€ and the 30 Amp breaker labeled โ€œBilgeโ€.

Year and model of your boat might help. Closer to BBP or Titaniumboy?

Good point. 2003 Cobalt 240. Same model as Titanium. Closer to Big Block's year.

It's the grand mystery for the new year.

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

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

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.
