Anyone know what this device is that is inline on the power wire that runs from my fuse box to the left and right replays that activate the latches on my engine cargo hatches?

What do you mean by electric hatches on your engine cargo hatches? What boat do you have?

74wind, it's a 2002 super sport/super air. The storage compartments on either side of the engine have electric latches activated by push buttons.

There's already a dedicated circuit breaker for the electric latches in the fuse box so not sure why there would be another circuit breaker in this power wire to the relays for the latches?

Well that sure looks like it... Those style are automatic reset? Or is it like a fuse where's it's one time use and then replace it?
I will trace the latch wiring system further. Could be that circuit breaker in question protects the main power wire that feeds the relays and the "latch" breaker in the fuse box is for the latch actuators themselves. |

Those breakers are a thermal type which do reset after cooling down.
I feel you will find this to be how it's wired. Yes, the large breaker is for the main power (high amp) to the linier actuator through the up down relay/contactor and the small breaker in the fuse box is for the control circuit (low amp) to the coil in the up/down relay/contactor. |
