I have a 2022 Grady White 235 freedom. Anyone had any issues with the 100amp circuit breaker in the aft battery locker continuously tripping and/or not resetting at all? I believe the breaker is for the battery isolator. When the breaker is tripped, I do not notice anything else turning off or not operating while boating. What is the root cause of this breaker tripping and how to fix? Thanks.

When the breaker can not be reset, verify that shore power is not connected. Unplug at the boat. Now assuming no generator or generator turned off, see if you can reset the breaker

When you say that when it trips nothing seems not to operate when boating, does that include 120v devices . If you have a standard 120v outlet bring something to plug in to see if you have power.

My guess would be either a bad breaker or something is hooked up wrong at the batteries and/or isolator. Trace the wires.

Being it's a 2022, can you ask your local dealer to fix it?

Thanks for the info guys. Will let the dealer figure out the cause to get it fixed.
