Our 2015 R21 EC has a Blue Sea Systems DC distribution panel with six switches controlling various items. Along side each switch is a vinyl or rubber boot. According to the Blue Sea Systems web site these are Push Button Reset-Only circuit breakers with waterproof boots. On our Ranger I think most of these circuits also have a fuse on the main fuse panel. Are these circuit breakers active and redundant to the fuses?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

I always assumed they were redundant on my 2016 R-21. I've had similar "pop up" breakers on other equipment in the past and it is very obvious when they trip.

Cheers,

Mark,
Thanks for the clarification. It's good to know there is backup for these circuits.
You, like others, are always so helpful on this forum.
Happy New Year!
