Default MCBs for low voltage (as in 12 volts) - practical?

Is it possible/sensible to use 'standard' mains DIN rail MCBs as
protective devices on 12 volt DC systems or would the voltage drop
across them be too great?

A small[ish] consumer unit would be a neat solution to use as a
distribution box for the 12 volt wiring on our new (to us) boat,
much cheaper and easier than a custom solution.
