it would help to know whats running to it.  add up the amps of whatever is running on it and replace it with an equivalent. 

those push button breakers are usually low amp.

The breaker size is based on the wire gauge.....

What size wire?

You should not have anything that uses more than about 25 amps.

I think the one on my new harness was 30A.  I bought the complete Hardin Marine engine harness with the terminal block and breaker when I rewired the Hondo.
