The ETA circuit breakers were originally installed in my '93 Sport. I just replaced all of them at the same time with new ETA's. Just check the amp rating of each because they are not all the same. Both skidim and nautique parts have them.   nautique parts lists the common amp ratings for each breaker depending on the use. I had to buy two from an electric parts house because I couldn't find the same amp rating as what I needed.
If one is going bad I would just replace them all. My boat is almost an antique!

Mike,
Just a friendly FYI, boats aren't classified like other items like autos. The "antique" class is pre WWII. After the war boats are in the "classic" category.

Sounds like a good fall project and swap the all out. Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification - I'd rather be known as a classic than an antique

Is there a source for a complete set?
I have accessory switches as well but do not know the AMP. I suppose I can remove and check them.

I added a tower light and wired to the navigation switch. Shortly later, switch went bad. I suppose I should wire the tower navigation light to one of the accessory switches. Where is the best point of location to wire? seems like the switch is a hap-hazard way of doing it
