Need Help: Shore Power Switch in Main Breaker Panel

[SteveA]

My "Shore Power" breaker switch for Line 1 seems to have tripped, but now it won't stay in the "On" position. Breaker for Line 2 works and supplies power. Both breaker switches for the generator work and supply power. Does this sound like a faulty switch, or is there a simpler "reset" solution? I toggled the transom breaker switches off and on, and same on the shore power station, but nothing I'm doing enables the Line 1 Shore Power switch to stay in the On position. Appreciate any advice!!

I had a similar issue and this is what I found. You probably have slide covers that you move over the switch when changing from shore to gen power. If this cover (mine is mounted with one screw) slips down just a hair the breaker switch will not go to lock position when you push it. Loosen the cover screw and push up on the cover. This will just provide enough clearance for the switch to move and should stay. I thought my breaker switch was broke but it was this safety cover out of alignment just a hair.
