One big advantage this breaker has over others is the ability to trip it manually
5/5

It is rare for breakers to allow you to trip them on their own, but many will only allow you to reset them manually when they trip. Having this breaker on a smaller sailboat is really great, and I'm able to trip it manually - a great safety measure - when the propeller is out of the water or when the boat is on a The prop will be close to me whenever I am in close proximity to it A sailboat is frequently in port, which can make up the majority of.
