I have just replaced all the push button miniature circuit breakers on Boadicea's 12v distribution panel, and with several starting to disintegrate a job done just in time. Nice bright new LEDs for each service too.

Whereas as most of the wires to the various services were clearly number marked and corresponded with the panel legends, the makers decided to fit an extra 5a breaker unmarked on both its cable and with no legend.

I guess I will just have to leave it switched off until I discover what isn't working.

The ETA switch breakers used took some finding though, and I then discovered these are supplied with a choice of 12mm or 3/8" fitting hole diameters. RS list the two different fitting size types in completely different places.
 
Probably a good idea to leave it in OFF as it activates the small circular hatch on the foredeck. The one with the miniature Phalanx for dealing with raggies...
