My M had some water damage and the AC meters on the Shore Power Panel are dead. Also, the AC circuit breakers are a bit touchy and require a soft touch to get them to reset if they ever are switched off. Does anyone know where replacements can be found? If not, does anyone have any suggestions about replacing the entire panel. I'm NOT looking forward to this, but I know that one day, the breakers will pop and I'll be stuck without gen AC or shore AC.
BTW, I hate winter!!!!!

I redid the ac panel on my boat and wrote it up on this forum, but the information, slightly enhanced, is on my web site at http://web.me.com/dougmrose/Doug_Roses_Website/AC_Panel_Rework.html

I had no meters so I put in new ones that I bought as surplus years ago at skycraftsurplus.com. I like the look of traditional round analogue meters and metal toggle switches, it suits a boat that is 36 years old. You might like to try something more modern. If you post the dimensions, I can probably recommend something.

If your breakers require a "soft touch" then I would for sure get rid of them. The original Marinette breaker/switches were thermal breakers. You should replace them with the magnetic type as I did.
