GD,Yes, it is a WHOLE lot easier to check the breaker! See if there is any resistance, even minimal, across the spade terminals.
Does it look like I'm doing this right?
You should always test resistance readings with your right hand/hook and volt/amps with your left.
No, but breakers are better, resettable, if you know what I mean.Give me your amperage needs, and I'll get you the breakers, exact fit. If you want, we'll start with the washdown pump. If you want to replace all on your switch panel, we can do that too. You'd have them by the end of the week.Bob C
hmmmm good idea to test the breaker. Sounds better than running new line, no matter how easy Bob makes it sound! Wave- why did you have to cut your dash? Couldn't you install the breaker from inside the compartment?

Couldn't you install the breaker from inside the compartment?GD,Post a picture of your dash if you can.If it is the same as mine, the circuit breakers all mount to the dash panel, and the dash panel mounts to the helm.On mine, if you remove the 16 some screws from the dash panel, you can pull it forward enough to work on it.As far as drilling it out, it has to do with the size of the circuit breaker that passes through the dash panel, nothing else.WD.
