Hi new owner to 1979 Hunter 27 and started to go over electric. Previous owner had a fresh water flood while dry docked from a disconnected scupper line and a dead battery. Flood line reached half way up on breaker panel, completely submerged the ac main breaker, battery switch up to DC bilge switch. While cabin lights and bilge and mast spreader lights still work, running lights and anchor do not.
I am on a budget and can't have a marine electrician complete the work. I plan on doing as much work as I can and have more knowledgable friends review my work. So far I have gone through and sanded terminal connections and added dielectric grease and labeled wires. I wanted to replace all breakers and battery switch. I plan on replacing nav and cabin lights to LED.
Can anyone confirm the main AC breaker is a 30 amp breaker, label on breaker is missing. Also breaker looks like a double pole circuit breaker with a single switch, but haven't seen anything that looks like it online store or west marine. Looks like the AC breaker feeds a few outlets should the galley be converted gfi. I have not tried connecting to shore power as of yet because I wanted to replace the AC main breaker. When looking at the online store what breaker would I need to purchase to replace the main AC breaker. Looks like a duplex breaker but with only one switch. What should the AC ground wire be connected to from the romex it is currently disconnected and not grounded to anything. See attached picture.
I wanted to disconnect the DC 12 volt breakers wires one by one and attach wires to the new breakers instead of disconnecting everything and getting confused when hooking back up. Can anyone provide what size breakers are needed for my panel. The labels are obscured. Most of the switches on breakers are white but a few are red is there any significance to to the color coding like amperage? What breakers are needed for 12v DC panel.
Cabin lights 15a
running lights
steaming lights
anchor lights
Bilge pump
Thank you for your assistance I have found some great info searching the posts already.
