I'm having an issue with my helm breaker tripping and not sure why, or where to start?
When this happens, I lose my nav lights, helm lights, spotlight, and deck lights. Really dark and a bad situation. This just recently began and I did not make any changes to revert back to in order to correct it.
The lights will flicker, the helm lights go dim, they will go back to normal illumination, flicker again, and finally bam, breaker is tripped. If I just run with nav lights only, it's 50/50 to whether it's trips. I have to wait for around 10 minutes and can then reset the breaker.
Curious how to troubleshoot this?
