along with upholstery work im making a new panel for the cabin and want to get your ideas. i would like to replace the ugly circuit breakers with something that functions the same but looks better. i found these pushbutton breakers that look better but im not sure i should use them. electrical challenged here.

Those are the same as what is currenty used on Cigarettes. you can get them from and Marine supply house or Livorsi. They make nice clear rubber boots for them also.

Any circuit breaker rated to work at 12 volts and what ever current you need will work. After that, the next criteria will be how waterproof, and then looks.

I would stay with the airpax style breakers. I am not sure of your application. But the airpax can also be used as a switch. where as the push buttons can not. I my opinion the airpax is far more reliable. i have replaced dozens of faulty push buttons and have only come across one bad airpax style breaker. My .02

thanks guys. stageharbor your right. they do need to be switchable. leaning toward this type now to match the dash update i did already using toggle switches.
