30 amp breaker

Post by Hiya Autumn »

In the electrical panel I see 2 breakers
Left and right
The left on is not working correctly
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement
30 amp LP-3386 square deal breaker ?
I am pretty sure the power loss in the outlets is from this.
It shows nothing on the display

I am waiting for the manual so that I can really get to understand what the whole electrical panel is all about as I have no idea.
If anyone has the same boat I would welcome an idiot guide to see what's what.

Thank you

Chris

If you don't have the full documentation, you can get it for your boat from Beacon Marine. You provide them with the serial number of your boat and you get a copy of what Trojan gave the original owner. The info is here -- http://www.trojanboats.net/wforum/viewt ... f=1&t=2695

We were lucky and our boat came with the full set of original documents, but that is not common...

Welcome to the forum. I searched
30 amp LP-3386 square
on the interwebs and it immediately returned:

This forum also has a search feature.
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!

My f28 used hart breakers which were bought by Seimans and Home Depot has seimans breakers that fit perfectly. The breaker boxes were standard household type not specifically marine.

Chris are you using both shore power cords ? I am assuming you have twin 30 amp service . If just using one cord there is a cross over switch (Never ever flip it when 2 cords are hooked up ) My F36 uses a Marine main breaker , it mounts differently then a home type .Other breakers in the panel are the home style . This seems to vary from model to model year to year . Have you found out , exactly what Trojan you have ? Photo of the panel (and boat) would help

thank you for the guidance with the breaker

I sourced the breaker from grainger, changed it out all works fine

changed out the bilge pump switch today . good job
and also ripped out all the old carpet .
found so many hatches underneath the carpet some don't look original but will investigate anyway.

Still got issues with the windlass..............basically it doesn't work.
I had a chap look at it and he said it needs new everything.
So the next job I think I will change the switch, find any solenoids and clean up all the connections and hope that does the trick as really don't know what else to do.

Anyway everything seems ok ,

I will get some photos and post them up

Happy Thanksgiving to all
