Hi Davi, If it is a swap to a new breaker of the same capacity that is a reasonable test with low risk. Just do not hold it up if it pops. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Hey Danny, just to clarify, the breaker there now is 100A, so this is a straightforward swap. I'm trying to get my head around the odds it is the breaker. Both windlass and genoa worked fine a week

Hi Eric, I'm a resident of St. Maarten. I will not try to defend the gouvenment of St. Maarten as these are as incompentent as they get in the Caribbean. However the current situation in the world

Good morning Eric, Advocation has been the gossip of the island. But I think, he needs to understand that since the 22nd, the island is in complete shut down, no one, not even the “resident”

Thanks Kent. I would stay with the bronze WOB. It saved you this time. Without it that corosion would have happened somewhere else. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Gary and Danny, I am certain that you are right about the WOB acting as the sacrificial anode. If this had gone on any longer, might have had catastrophic failure of the WOB. What damage would have
