Interesting, Josh as mine (94 37/40+), look nothing like yours. I'll have to talk a photo...

I never gave it much thought but it seems that the folks at C&C might have changed their methodology on the 37+. I have a wide selection of "coffe pot" type switches at the switch panel on the nav station to turn on/off my electrical loads. All the switches are wired to a bank of terminal boards which are powered from a series of circuit breakers. It is rare for any circuit breakers to trip and unnecessary to operate them unless they do. The terminal boards and circuit breakers are tucked neatly behind the nav station, during normal operation. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8pEh5lnvP1yVzdkVFMyVGhqRjA/view?usp=drivesdk Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk1989 C&C 37+Solomons, MD On Aug 10, 2017 1:06 PM, "svpegasus38 via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Paul, Circuit breakers were not designed to be used as a switch, although we all do. Me included. This being used as a switch will cause them to fail over time. I believe you just had bad luck having 2 fail symotainiously. I like paneltronics stuff. because I have used it in the past, and they will custom build a panel for you.

The AC is the left side and the DC is the right 2 sides. I have the main shut off switch for the panel otherwise, there is not backup breaker for the DC.

I have ones provided by Paneltronics on my DC panel but have to check my AC breaker ratings. The ratings for some are 32 VDC and others are 80 VDC/250 VAC. They look similar to your panel in appearance. So far, no problems. Typically circuit breaker is rated for interrupt amps and voltage. Grossly exceed the load for the voltage rating and they may not open. You system should have a backup fuse or circuit breaker rated for the maximum short circuit load. I hope this is too much information and would try replacing the faulty breakers.

I don't know if they are original but I assume they are. They are Airpax Circuit Breaker UPG6-1-52-103-91. F.L10A. MAX 65VDC. DELAY 52. They would become intermittent and I would need to wiggle the toggle to make it work. I bought 2 used replacements in the meantime but interested to know if you would recommend new panels or chock it up to coincidence and leave it as-is. I'll order another switch to keep on hand but looking for your thoughts. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw4NOPYfe9OWNE1yeXBSWkZfb2M Thanks, Paul Hood 81 C&C34 - Refuge Georgian Bay _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
