I need to replace the circuit breaker on top of an AQAD41A motor so my question is, do I have to use the Volvo Penta part that is an 8A $50 push button or can I get away with the $5 Blue Sea push button? I don't see why not (figured I'd ask just in case) but I don't want to pay 10X the amount just because it has a Volvo number on it. Particularly for a boat I never use and will likely sell or strip down and sell the parts since I'll probably make twice as much. Lol

I figured as much too, while I'm plenty familiar with car electronics not so much on marine diesel... Just wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything in particular nestled inside of the diesel that require that one particular flux capacitor... :) Thanks!
