Oops!
Should have read back further and closer.
There is no main breaker for the 12 volt side of things on my boat.

Hi Steve
I think Dave is talking about the breaker between the battery and the
positive buss bars on the electrical panel. On mine the wire from the
battery switch goes to a breaker (I think mine is only 50 amp but could be
wrong about that), and from the breaker it runs to the electrical panel.
cheers,

If you have a 30 amp cable, then you should have a 30 amp main breaker.
From a practical standpoint it probably won't make any difference,
assuming
that each shore power plug is independently and properly protected, but
that is a pretty big assumption.
A 100 amp breaker would protect a 30 amp cable from a dead short, but
that is about all. It would offer no fire protection at all for applied
loads that simply add up to more than 30 amps.
Whatever the cable connector rating, that should be the rating of the
main breaker on the boat.

Our 33-ll has a 100 amp breaker.

Hello, I am upgrading the house battery arrangement in my 33ii and will
replace the selector switch and breaker with a blue sea panel, which
includes a 100A main, among other things.
Does anyone know the raring of the factory breaker? The markings on
mine are illegible.
Thanks! Dave.
