Macerator panel breaker cover

[buddybear]

On my 2001 310 there is a cover which folds over the macerator breaker on the panel. I guess it is so you do not accidentally switch it on. I am looking for another one. Tried Catalina Direct and did some other searches but could not find it. Has anyone ordered one of these?

Thanks,
Mark

It is from 2001... 22 years ago. No idea what your panel looks like. BUT

If you are asking about a toggle stitch cover??? WM has one that looks like this.

It fits on the thread of a breaker to cover the toggle.

I didn't see that one, it would work too. I am actually using this for the Bilge Pump. There is a breaker for Bilge Auto or Manual and a Breaker which energizes that switch. It can be accidentally turned off so your automatic Bilge switch will not work, this is the one I am going to put a cover on, I don't know why you would ever turn that one off. Thanks

I was wrong that is not a breaker for Bilge Auto Manual it is a switch on the panel but it is energized by the breaker which can be accidentally turned off.

I understand. You named the switch “Macerator” . You must lock that out when the boat is inside the designated limit of the coast. CG rules. Having the cover in the off position helps us old sailors to remember. Disconnect the wires and the CG can’t write you up during an inspection.

I wonder can you turn the cover around so when the cover is up you can switch off and when down the switch is forced on?

I’m using two of those. Easy to install, works great. Let’s you leave switch in off or on position.
