I need to replace the 60A breaker at the back of my engine. In browsing around for the least expensive replacement, I came across this breaker from E-Basic Power. Can anyone confirm that this will cross with the breaker shown on the SKIDIM site? http://bpi.ebasicpower.com/p/MAL9-15501" rel="nofollow - Ebasic 60A http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=R153006C" rel="nofollow - skidim breaker It appears that the connection type on the back is slightly different... for the 20 dollar savings, can I use the Ebasic one? or is there a cheaper option than the 70 dollar Skidim/Nautique parts breaker? |

| Looks the same, might have to change the connectors on the end of the wires is all. |

Thanks TX  I think I found a better alternative, it is both cheaper, and says that it is ignition protected. I could not find a cut sheet anywhere online, so I hope it fits.... It was $35 shipped, where SKIDIM & NP were 69.00 plus shipping. http://www.bluesea.com/products/2143/Medium_Duty_Push_Button_Reset_Only_Circuit_Breaker_-_60A" rel="nofollow - BLUE SEA 60 A Main breaker |

Great thread. I can't believe how expensive these breakers are. It looks like Blue Sea increased their price to $45. Always good to see alternatives to SkiDIM and its nice to have confirmation you are ordering the right part! http://assets.bluesea.com/files/resources/dimensioned_drawing/2138-2143_MD_PushButton.jpg" rel="nofollow - In CCF Honor |

Flipflop - I didn't order direct from Blue Sea, I ordered from I-boats. it was 33.58 including the freight. thanks for fixing my link  I think the mounting screw size may be different, but that is the only thing that jumps out at me from the diagram. I'll compare side by side once it arrives. (8-10 days)

I just finished installing the blue Sea breaker, it is a direct replacement for the existing. Even the hardware is the same
