Happens, especially when said breaker is used as a switch like we do on our boats. Circuit breakers (at least on aircraft)were never designed to be used as a switch.

Frost day puts our 3 week summer cruise, headed to the Rendezvous next weekend..I am having an electrical issue. Has anyone had a breaker wear out and not just stop working but, rather, begin to trip at a lower load than their original level?
