Blue Sea Systems m-Series Battery Switch with Key, Part 6005, 48V DC, 300A Continuous

The Blue Sea Systems m-Series Battery Switch, part number 6005, is a key-operated battery switch built for boats that need reliable manual control over DC circuit power. Unlike knob-operated switches in the m-Series line, the 6005 uses a key for operation, which supports controlled access to the switch position and helps prevent unintended power flow when the key is removed. It is rated for a 900 amp cranking load for 30 seconds, a 500 amp intermittent load for 5 minutes, and a 300 amp continuous load, with a maximum operating voltage of 48 volts DC, making it suited to demanding DC power distribution tasks on board.

The switch includes breakout tabs that allow wire access in any direction, giving installers flexibility when routing cables to the switch during installation. A 6-circuit label set is not included with the 6005, so installers who want printed circuit labeling will need to source that separately; an Icon Circuit Identification Label Kit, part number 7902, is available as a separate accessory for circuit identification.
