  Did you check the 50A fuse on top of the engine?

  Do a search on this site for the 280EC wiring diagram. It is essentially the same for the 260EC since they share the same helm. There are 3 PDF’s on the post.

  Did you swap the breaker or test it? If it doesn’t reset and pops back out there’s most likely a wiring issue.

  Can you just swap it with an unused accessory breaker?

  That looks like the correct one, just use the screw on nut from your old one. I won’t be home till later if you want to wait and see if I have one.

  You should verify how many prongs yours has on the back. I think I’ve seen some that have more than 2, I could be wrong though.

  It is a 2 prong 15 amp 
  I am going to order 1 from Skipper but I don't believe it will be a perfect match 
  I will give it a try 
  Thanks for your help if it does not match can I get from you
