Hi Tom,
Sometimes, if there is a loose connection on the back of the breaker,
the extra resistance can make the breaker heat up. Since most breakers on
a boat are thermal (I think), the extra heat will cause the breaker to trip
"early". I suspect, a loose connection inside the breaker could have the
same effect.
Good luck,
