Hi! I'd like to introduce myself and say hello :lol:! I'm relativity new here, but I reference this forum frequently and it's been a great resource! My partner bought a 1994 Catalina 34 this January and we've been loving the boat.

We recently ran into an issue with the circuit breaker on the panel while testing the electric windlass. On our boat you push the 80amp button IN to turn on the windlass. However, the button got stuck and we had to power down and remove the breaker all together to turn it off. We finally realized that the button was just stuck IN !! We looked at replacing the unit and it's about $110 dollars and not the most ideal circuit breaker. We will eventually upgrade breakers, but in the mean time is there a way to "grease" the button so it doesn't stick IN ? We also checked and the breaker appears to run off the house batteries and NOT the start batteries.

Here is a picture of the breaker with the button "out" or in the off position.

I'm glad to hear about this because I thought I was going crazy  :shock: We've only had the boat since January, but recently noticed we lean to port a bit more. It seems to be less noticeable when both water tanks are full and the holding tank is empty , all which makes sense. Guess we will start storing all the heavy items on starboard.
