See the attached pic.  Circled in green are switches.  Can someone tell me the model or type please?  They have no part number listed.

The one on the left is a GFP.  The 1 amp breaker is the bond between battery negative and ground.  When current flows through it (indicating a ground fault) it trips the 63 amp breaker (to which it is ganged).  That 63 amp breaker disconnects the PV positive.   The 60 amp breaker on the right is the PV disconnect.

Don't forget to use all Marine grade wire from combiner to control and from controller to batteries or your boat will never pass a marine survey. Good luck.
