Hunter 45CC Maryland
My ac panel on our hunter 45cc 2006 has been intermittently chattering for a couple years. Then it finally started chattering non stop. I replaced the potter and brumfeld relay that was doing the chatter but it turns out it was one of the 4 'latching' relays at the top of the panel-see

They only sell wholesale so buy at www.newark.com $6 each.
Problem is they're a real pain to unsolder and resolder to the silly homemade circuit boards hunter used that year. Btw-local repair guy said this is common on these boats.
Good luck!

My 06 45cc circuit panel caught fire due to one of these relays. Luckily I was aboard. I would recommend you check out my rewiring of panel to delete these devices. Rewiring using a seablue on off selector switch. It can be found in the owners mods.
