Blue Sea Systems 8023 Traditional Metal DC Panel, 8 Position, 6 x 15A Breakers, 12/24V DC, 100A

The Blue Sea Systems 8023 Traditional Metal DC Panel is an 8 position DC distribution panel built for organizing and protecting circuits on 12 or 24 volt DC electrical systems. The panel ships equipped with 6 A-Series 15A circuit breakers (7210), leaving 2 open positions available for future circuit additions. Each breaker uses a white toggle switch with an LED indicator, giving an at-a-glance signal of which circuits are energized. The panel is wired to a negative bus, simplifying grounding for each circuit run. With a 100A maximum rating, the panel is sized for typical helm, cabin, and accessory circuit distribution on boats running 12/24V DC power. The traditional metal styling gives the panel a clean, classic appearance suited to helm stations and electrical panel boards where a straightforward toggle-switch layout is preferred over modern rocker or digital designs. Overall panel dimensions are 5.25 inches (133.35 mm) wide by 7.50 inches (190.50 mm) high, with a mounting depth of 2.50 inches (63.50 mm), so it is important to confirm available panel space before installation. This DC panel is a universal electrical distribution component and is not tied to a specific boat make, model, or engine application.
