Blue Sea Systems 8027 Traditional Metal AC Distribution Panel, Main + 6 Positions, 120V AC

The Blue Sea Systems 8027 is a Traditional Metal AC distribution panel built for onboard 120V AC power management. It combines a 30 Amp main breaker with three 15 Amp branch circuit breakers across a Main + 6 total position layout, giving boat owners three active branch circuits plus room to expand. White toggle actuators operate each breaker, and the panel includes power on and reverse polarity LED indicators so the operator can confirm shore power status and correct polarity at a glance. Internal neutral and ground buses provide proper termination points for AC wiring without additional hardware. This panel does not include a meter, keeping the layout focused on breaker protection and circuit monitoring via the LED indicators.

Constructed of plastic with a compact 5.25 inch by 7.50 inch footprint and 2.50 inch depth, the 8027 fits standard AC panel cutouts on boats needing a straightforward main-plus-branch AC setup. An insulating back cover (Blue Sea Systems 4027) is available separately for installations that require additional protection behind the panel.
