Not sure of the gauge but the hot feed was twice the size of the 2 ground connections. The panel supports the 2 heads, fridge, sump pump, lights, wash down pump and a few other items… 14-15 total. ...

CB Issue

All the 12 V CBs on the right side of my panel (lower right - see pic) are dead. I haven’t pulled the panel yet. Anyone experience anything similar? The left side works fine.

Thanks,
Steve

When I replaced my heater in a 4600 I had to pry the screws loose. No other way of accessing. Just patch it up and enjoy the hot water.
