Is the id tag still on the back....should have model/serial # etc......then you can check Carling or Blue Sea systems site for size etc. hopefully some more info there. Good luck....

Source of the post Thanks KM1125. I finally was able to do more testing. Probed the circuit breaker on swimplatform and one of the HOT is not getting a full 110V. I removed the circuit breaker but it has no marking on what amp it is.

Anyone know what size circuit breaker I need

It’s a carlingswich breaker

There's no printing on the side of that breaker? All the Carlings I seen have been pretty well stamped on the side.

Unfortanetly none. I gave blueseal a call, bought the 50amp breaker

Well guys, I believe I finally figured it out. Its my shore power plug, bought a new one on amazon. Sheez

First I thought it was the breaker but I did a voltage test on the 50amp 1 black hot and 1 red Hot. Red has 120v black has 16.5v... Boom its my plug or cord.
going to replace the plug end this weekend.....

Hi Paulr, how are you testing the shore power pedestal? Just with a multimeter? L-N and L-N? Or do you have a special plug?

I haven't had this specific issue, but shore power connections on my 2000 506 have tripped the breaker at a couple marinas in the past year. Particularly when we were coming up the Tenn-Tom from the Gulf to Kentucky Lake. Would also like to know the breaker. I'll check my Carver inventory sheet when I'm on the boat in a couple of weeks.

Thx CRO
