[C38] What happened?

[Max Soto]

Patrick, That breaker is ON to the right, just like all the switches on the original panel. 
Dave, Mine is 25 amps, is the original. Are you sure that yours is 30??? Maybe,  you also have a 25, and that's the reason that it trips before the one on the dock. And please, tell us how long it took you to figure out the dock's breaker!!!!!LOL...
Honestly, I  haven't heard of a breaker like that yet. 

Regards. Max

If the dock breaker trips, it appears to still be in the ON position. It has to be forced into the OFF position in order to be reset to ON. I am not going to divulge how long it took me to figure that one out the first time it happened........
