In reading many of the electrical discussions, it is clear that I need to add an AC breaker between my shore power connection and the panel since the run is more than 10'. I have looked for a surface mount breaker or an inline breaker, but can't seem to find anything. If someone has done this upgrade to a Mark I could you please share how you installed the breaker and what you used?

Thanks Stu, I did go through their products previously but couldn't find what I was looking for. All of the ac breakers appear to be for installation in a breaker panel. I was hoping to find something that would make for the simplest installation possible. They make surface mount DC breakers, but it doesn't look like there is anything comparable in AC. An inline breaker would be an equally easy solution, but can't seem to find anything. Was hoping a member could describe how their breaker is installed and what is used. Maybe nobody bothers with it??

Then custom mount it in a plastic weatherproof junction box from Home Depot...

Thank you Mainsail, that's exactly the kind of information I was hoping to get. Parts are on order....

Catalina Direct also carries AC breakers and mounts.
