| Post subject: | Breaker popping |
I had another blower installed in the engine bay due to the extreme heat here at Lake Mead. I feel it helps when running the engines and generator. After running the blowers for a couple of minutes the breaker would pop. I'd reset after a while would work then pop again. So we installed a larger breaker 20 amp. Worked great. This last weekend put the blowers on and the blowers stopped working. This time the HORN Breaker popped!?(every time the blowers stopped working) Horn sill worked(not sure if worked when breaker popped but I believe it did) reset breaker blower kicked on and popped shortly after. I went ahead and looked at the wiring thinking they got switched but wiring was correct for each breaker. Could my old blower be the problem? Maybe a short? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again. |

Hey Steve, not sure this will help but my breakers popped all the time when I first got my boat. I eneded up removing the battery connectors on all 3 batteries, cleaning them and then putting them back on tight. No pops since then. Sounds to me like a loose ground somewhere. |

Did all your breakers pop or just a specific one like mine? Either way I'll give it a try you never know. Thanks Chris. |

The blower, does it spin freely by hand? |

Chris mine are the ones under the steering wheel with all the other breakers/fuses. Paul I'm not sure? If it does what could that mean? |
