Questions and answers
How do I figure bout if a breaker has tripped
To determine if a breaker has tripped on a Boston Whaler 180 Dauntless, check the breaker panel for any breaker that has moved to the "off" position or is not aligned with the others. If a circuit repeatedly trips, do not reset it without finding and fixing the cause. Have a qualified electrician inspect it if needed.
