Hi All: Does anyone have a source for the classic push on/push off breakers used on the older Catalina 30's and other models? Catalina Direct has them for $80!!! There has to be some place on this planet that has them for less. Thank you all in advance :) RON WACLAWIK C-30 #3619 Delta G

Those breakers were made by E-T-A out of West Germany. Both digikey.com and alliedelec.com have them. The part number will be something like this 2-5700-IG1-K10-DD-20A

Be sure to click on the data sheet in the above link to see just how and what you order. For example K10 means screw terminal and P10 would mean friction fit/blade terminal.

Yes, Allied Electric is the place to go. Huge selection for much better prices than Catalina Direct or West Marine or any retail marine vendors.
