I want to replace the main AC circuit breaker in my early vintage ('83) Hunter 34. The existing one occasionally breaks the circuit (Note: it doesn't trip, it simply stops transmitting power). I can usually toggle it back and forth a couple of times and it will come back. Once I had to unplug shore power and plug it back in to get it to come back. It is clear to me it's failing and needs to be replaced.
The problem is that it is a double pole breaker with 30A on each side, but there is only a single toggle. All the ones I can find either in local chandleries or online have a double toggle, but there is no hole in my panel for a second one, and I'm more than a little reluctant to have to drill one, as I'd have to basically remove all the breakers to do it.
The first photo attached shows the front of the panel, with the culprit at the top right. The second shows the double breaker behind that. The neutral incoming wire is in front (white) with the hot behind (black). I have no idea what caused the arc marks on the neutral line going to the neutral bus, but there is nothing there now to cause it. I'll replace that bit of wire when I replace the breaker.
Anybody know where you can buy such a thing?
