It is built for circuits that combine navigation lights and an anchor light on a shared bulb, letting a boater switch between running lights and anchor light from a single control instead of wiring two separate switches. The double-pole, double-throw configuration lets the switch route two independent circuits simultaneously, which is what makes combining the nav light and anchor light functions on one switch possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of the Contura 3 line, the 8286 shares its physical switch body and mounting format with the wider Contura family of Blue Sea Systems rocker switches, which are offered across multiple functions and colors so a helm panel can be built out with a matched, uniform set of controls. The 8286 is the black, DPDT On-Off-On, nav\/anchor-light variant of that lineup. At 0.09 pounds, it is a lightweight panel-mount component intended for installation into a boat's electrical switch panel alongside other circuit controls.\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 8286\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contura 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e On-Off-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combining navigation lights and anchor light with shared bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine Rocker Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085082864\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does DPDT On-Off-On mean on the Blue Sea Systems 8286 switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e DPDT stands for double pole, double throw, meaning the switch controls two separate circuits at once, and On-Off-On describes its three positions: one circuit on, both off in the center, and the second circuit on.
