SOURCE FOR RESETABLE GRADY FUSES..??

[NIGHTIDES]

Looking to change out several fuses on the accessory panel at the helm. These are the resetable ones where you push in that rubber boot if the fuse pops.

Any sources aside from Grady..??

Thank you.

I thought the usual boating supply stores have them, I call them button breakers.

The boot is optional.

Thanks.. I will go to my local supply and look see..

Called local Grady dealer and the said they have them for $9 but only in certain sizes; not the 6 amp ones I am looking for.

Usually these are applied to motor drivern loads like macerators, windlasses, SW pumps, and the like, that can overload in normal operation, unlike other loads like lighting & electronics, so as not to need a big stash of fuses around, and teh delay in spending time to find it and replace it.

Getting the right size is important, if they tell you the next size up will work fine, tell them thanks but no thanks.

I'll check the Freeport Marine catalog when I get home tonight.

Bobp:

Freeport marine has them only in 5 or 10 amps nothing in the middle.

I am going to go w/ a 10amp since the 5 will not cut it since the pump I have in there calls for a 6. Local Grady dealer said to go w/ the 10amp as well. May perhaps put an inline glass one rated at 6.

OK
Get a time delay 6A or so called slow blow if you can, get spares too.

NightT - Blue Seas offers a 7A button fuse, No. 7053

Boatfix.com has it for 4 bucks.

7A is close enough.

Thank you very much for finding that source. It fits the bill nicely.

Stuck in the 10 amp one just to get on the road again but am ordering the 7 amp to replace it.

Thanks again.
