Blue Sea Systems WeatherDeck 4304 Waterproof Fused Switch Panel, 4-Position, 12 Volt DC, IP67

The Blue Sea Systems WeatherDeck 4304 is a waterproof, fused 4-position switch panel built for exposed helm and deck installations where standard panels cannot survive. Rated IP67 for protection against dust and temporary submersion, it is designed to hold up in spray, rain, and washdown conditions typical of open boats, center consoles, and flybridges. The panel operates on a 12 volt DC system and provides four independently fused circuits, each rated 2 amps, so individual accessories are protected without requiring a separate fuse block. Each position is controlled by a hinge lever actuator for positive on/off operation with wet or gloved hands. The panel housing is molded from durable plastic to resist the corrosion and UV exposure common to marine deck hardware, and wiring connections are made via screw terminals for a secure, serviceable installation. With overall dimensions of 4 x 6 x 7 inches, the WeatherDeck 4304 mounts to a deck or console face and is sized to fit typical helm switch panel cutouts. It is a straightforward upgrade for boaters adding accessory circuits such as deck lighting, livewell pumps, washdown pumps, or other 12 volt DC accessories in a location exposed to the elements.
