You really need to find out why the breaker tripped. Resetting a breaker is rarely the final fix to an electrical problem...
My boat has one of the electric rams and access panels for getting to a release pin. I have to remember to briefly hit the "open hatch" button after I close it, or the ram puts so much tension on the hardware that I can't remove the release pin. If I forget to do that and lose power, I'm kinda screwed. I'm tinking about taking the electric ram out and installing a hinged prop rod instead. The hatch only weighs about 80- 100 lbs and I can lift it without too much effort. The ram only lifts the hatch enough to get to basic maintenance items anyway; to do "real" maintenance, I have to disconnect the ram and use a 6 foot prop rod that came with the boat.
