Hi all. I have 2003 B 393 Oceanis clipper, 3 cabin version. Shore power switch (Main 220) on the 220 V panel doesn't work and ı want to replace it.

Is there anybody know it???
Thanks

Re: Shore Power Breaker Amperage
The owners manuals for boats are typically pretty worthless, that's if you get one at all. What is more important is to get all the manuals for all the equipment that was installed on your boat. Otherwise you can look up the PDF for that equipment on the internet. The panel on your boat looks custom to the boat manufacturer, so its doubtful there is a manual for it.
Have you looked at the gauge of the wire that leads to the breaker? Size the amperage of the breaker to the size of the wire leading to it.
Chances are good that if you unscrew that panel that you will see the amperage of the breaker on its backside. At the very least you will see the gauge of the wire leading to the breaker.
BTW, it's supposed to be a double pole breaker that shuts off both the Hot and the Neutral.

either 10 A @250 VAC or 16A @ 250VAC, it will not be bigger
It will be stamped on the reverse
replace it with a 16A switch if you can't determine rating
its not a circuit breaker from memory

Note , that is a switch not a breaker from memory ( I used to own a 393) , the gauge of the wire is not relevant , the Rating is the switch contact rating
