Then the individual branch circuits for switches and other accessories had their own fuses, usually none more than 10 amps. The power leads up to the console were 10 ga wire.

Fifteen amp is not enough to carry possible electrical requirements of the boat, including radio, GPS, lighting, etc.

I just replaced one with this same part. if you search these words on amazon you will find it. They also sell the rubber clear boot that covers the push button to provide some better protection from water. New Boat Circuit Breaker Push Button 30 AMP Marine AC / DC BLU 7059 Mark
