Default Switch / circuit breaker help??

Anyone recognize this switch and know where I might get a replacement? It's the switch for my cabin power... It has a metal toggle switch on the dashboard.

Looks like a standard switch/breaker, Blue Seas and others you get from any marine supplier, Defenders, etc.


I'm kinda curious why you have a 50A breaker for your cabin.

That's what I thought too, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. All of the switch / breakers I've seen are panel mount and have the plastic toggle. This one has a metal toggle switch. As for the amps, I guess its because the cabin has a lot of loads; refrigerator, stereo, lights, vacuflush, sump pumps, etc. It's what came in there, but it's starting to get a little flaky so want to replace it.

Gotcha.

Just checked Blue Seas has those breakers in 50a with steel toggle

Looks like it's a speciality item. Probably best bet to just call FPB
