It occupies the center position within a modular Contura panel assembly, letting installers combine multiple panel sections into a switch panel sized exactly to the number of switches needed rather than being locked into a fixed factory layout. The 8266 is part of a coordinated Contura mounting panel family that also includes an end panel, and 1, 3, and 6 position panels, all sharing the same 2.30 inch height so they align cleanly when joined together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is heavy 1\/8 inch aluminum alloy with a polished finish, giving the panel the rigidity and corrosion resistance expected in a marine electrical environment. Because the modular design permits easy assembly in groups of varying sizes, boat builders and DIY installers can mix center, end, and multi-position panels to create a switch panel of almost any length. The 8266 ships as a single center mounting panel; Contura switches and additional panel sections are ordered separately to complete an array.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8266\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.03 inches (26.16 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.30 inches (58.42 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum, 5052 alloy, 1\/8 inch thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085082666\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Contura center mounting panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Blue Sea Systems 8266 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8266 is a center mounting panel used to build a custom modular Contura switch panel, holding a center position between other panel sections in the array.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 8266 mounting panel?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 1.03 inches (26.16 mm) wide and 2.30 inches (58.42 mm) high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 8266 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Sea Systems 8266 weighs 0.08 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 8266 panel made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from heavy 1\/8 inch aluminum, 5052 alloy, with a polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 8266 come with switches installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 8266 is a blank center mounting panel only; Contura switches are ordered separately and installed into the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 8266 be combined with other Blue Sea Contura panels?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the modular design lets the 8266 center panel join with end panels and 1, 3, or 6 position panels, all sharing the same 2.30 inch height, to build a switch panel of the needed length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 8266 the same as the Blue Sea 8267 end panel?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 8266 is the center position panel at 1.03 inches wide, while the 8267 is a separate end mounting panel at 1.19 inches wide; they are different part numbers within the same Contura panel family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the Blue Sea Systems 8266 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8266 center mounting panel has a polished aluminum finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Blue Sea 8266 genuine or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8266 is a genuine Blue Sea Systems part, identified by manufacturer part number 8266.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 8266?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ordering the 8266 includes one Contura center mounting panel; no switches or additional panel sections are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 8266 mounting panel corrosion resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 8266 is built from aluminum alloy, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for marine electrical panel use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989520101595,"sku":"BSS-8266","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/8266.jpg?v=1784507697","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/blue-sea-systems-8266-contura-center-mounting-panel-modular-switch-panel-bracket-5052-aluminum","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
