Bow Lights

I when I turn my bow lights on ( not my navigation lights), it trips my breaker within 15 seconds every time. Do I have a short, not enough amps?

What bow lights if not the nav lights???????? Do you mean docking lights???????

And yes, you most likely have a short or bad ground.

Maybe the circuit breaker is not enough amps,or is weak. Docking lights take a lot of juice. JOHN

Ditto, I have had a couple breaker get aged recently and trip prematurely, replaced with exact same breaker and problem solved. Start easy 1st, breakers are cheap.
