1998 232 ignition circuit breakers amperage?

Post by Cobalt98 »

My circuit breaker just above the ignition switch is missing. I just got the boat and she's all sealed up for the winter. There's a hole where that circuit breaker should be (I assume its for the ignition circuit?)

Does anyone know what amperage that cb is?

Thanks

Does anyone know the amperage of the breaker?

My ignition switch has a light near it, but not an ignition breaker. I think it'd be unusual to find a breaker there, or one for the ignition, as it can pull hundreds of amps for brief periods.

Edit - found a picture of a similar boat and it looked a lot like a breaker, maybe for ignition-switched accessories? Did some poking around and found this thread:
