change them out to aviation/marine type. not very expensive and they will be more reliable.

Which breaker(s) is/are poping? You may want to make sure you don't
have some other problem only to find a breaker upgrade has the same
problem :? Being at Whidbey Is. is not exactly all that hot -- relatively
skeak'n.

Hello...do you have a stock number or a source...did you have to do any modifications or do they fit in the fuse block?

I used some Seachoice breakers
http://www.seachoice.com/wp-content/the ... .html#p=17

needed to convert wires from ring ends to female spade ends and but the breakers fit in the holes that were in the dash. The rubber mounting and metal shroud that contain the original breakers were no longer needed.

Been a several years now and have experienced no troubles with the new style breaker.
