Circuit Breaker panel on a TC255?

My TC255 has the usual fuses but then there is also a panel for pushbutton breakers near my right knee below the throttles. The wiring diagram the factory sent me doesn't have that panel on it unless the little squiggly things in front of the switches on the diagram are breakers.

They're not shown on a separate panel but on the port and stbd panels to the right/left of the helm. I've asked the Factory if I can post the diagram and now, in absence of any sort of reply, I'm gonna post it in the documents section.

You can find the diagram HERE

Do all of you with TCs have that panel near your right knee on the stbd bulkhead below the throttles?

Hey Warren, is your ckt breaker panel labeled? If so, are they the same as the rocker panels to the left/right of the helm? I think they are the breakers for each of those circuits.

Do you know how to trip them manually?

How about the rest of the TC255 owners?

Just got back from a trip to the CAT. The breaker switches are labled, some are the same as the ones for the helm switch panels but some of the swiches aren't represented by breakers. Don't know where the fuses are, for example to the bilge pumps. My stbd pump has quit working, while the port one does. Both indicator lights on the rocker switches come on which, I think indicates power to the pumps.

They are very hard to get to as they are at the bottom of the sponsons and you can barely reach them with an arm. The wiring is so short you can't pull it up to work on/check. A very poor design. I'll have to see if it works on automatic by putting water in there and then sucking it out with a manual pump if it doesn't.
