Yep, makes sense. I have an old gallon of liquid plastic made by Flekto Varathane,Was gonna do a test spot to smooth things out or I may just put another coat of spray paint applied heavily....THAT seemed to work pretty well after a light sanding.
New breaker installed and working fine. Had to drill one of the old connections off and the other one just fell off when I was handling it.Cleaned the cable ends and they were too small for the breaker terminals so honed them a bit until they fit.Gonna go with marine grease one the...
this looks like to one I got except that the lever goes the opposite way.the rest looks identical.Actually if I flip mine upside down it is identical.Probably all made at same factory in China
I will look again. I bought what was called a pretty generic 40 amp at an RV and marine center.It has an arm and a small reset button next to the arm. Terminals look to be brass( gold) with rubber caps for the ends of the terminals.
Green zinc chromate primer on aluminum.I have also used yellow zinc phosphate primer on aluminum with good results. Never heard of using epoxy primer. Charlie
ok, got my new breaker.Went with a different style since the current style was open back and not sealed to corrosion. and I boat in salt .I plan to coat each terminal thoroughly with either marine grease or dielectric. There are 4 other small screw heads or rivets.I was planning on brushing on...
I planned on getting a dupe of what I'm taking off. I assume it's marine?? Look at the pic. although the back was open which I assume marine would be closed .Charlie
Upon closing up I think I confirmed the breaker needs to be replaced. When I hold the reset red button in everything works as long as the button is held in and when I let the button go ...nuttin.
Hoping I don't sound like a complete tool here but should I be able to temporarily connect the 2 leads together after I remove the breaker and until I get a new breaker if needed?? Just to keep my bilge pump connected for a day or 2 ??
Ok got it. Just testing the breaker alone at that point. Thanks. I just sprayed it down with deep creep Seafoam and will tackle removal tomorrow. I don't think connections are coming off easily. Thanks again
Ok ,it's seems like the connections are the issue. Too crusty. Neg on battery and probe on 1 connection reading was less than 1,when I moved probe half inch from the connection 12 came up
