   Real question would "should I replace". This charger is on a 1997 Broward charging the electronics system to include stabilizer electrical system. As of last week it trips the 50 amp breaker on the unit. I have not done any trouble shooting yet as we are at our slip and prepping for short yard period. Has anyone had similar issues and is there a fix. Or " should I just replace. ". Thanks

   I suggest you first replace the breaker.
   calculate the current consumption on that breaker and see if the breaker fit consamption
   they tend to get tired in time and they are cheaper to replace.

   I agree, check the load first and the breaker and isolate if it's a weak breaker or the pump motor going bad and drawing excessive amperage. Most good fluke multimeters will have a clamp on amp meter.
