Blue Sea Systems 8373 Contura Switch Panel, 6-Position Vertical, Black, IP66 Waterproof

The Blue Sea Systems 8373 is a Contura switch panel built for boats that need reliable, waterproof circuit control at the helm or in an open cockpit. The panel holds 6 circuit positions arranged in a vertical layout and is finished in black. Each circuit position uses a push-button Contura switch with a normally open contact type and simple ON-OFF operation, so operators can control lighting, pumps, electronics, and other 12 volt DC accessories with a single press. Every circuit position includes an integrated ON indicating LED, giving an immediate visual confirmation of which circuits are active, which is especially useful at night or when the panel is mounted out of easy reach.

Because it is intended for flybridge and open cockpit installations where the panel is exposed to spray and washdown, the front of the panel is rated IP66, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets directed from any angle. The panel body is constructed of plastic for corrosion resistance in the marine environment. The 8373 is rated for 12 volt DC systems with a 45 amp current rating and is designed as a panel-mount unit, dropping into a cutout for a clean, integrated look on the dash or console.
