I replaced my breaker with one salvaged from a power strip. It was part of a re-do of the electrical system down there though so I'm not sure that would be a direct replacement of the stock one. I can't remember what it was like. I used a blank cover for the box that was in there and drilled a hole for the breaker and another hole for a switch I use to switch between "shore power" and inverter.
