The rocker gives clear up and down actuation for retrieving or deploying anchor, and works as either a primary helm switch or a secondary switch at a second station. A raised plastic guard surrounds the rocker to help prevent accidental activation from bumps or stray gear, reducing the risk of an unintended windlass engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe switch is rated for 12 or 24 Volt DC systems at 5 Amps, using normally closed contacts with brass contact material and screw terminals for a secure electrical connection. The housing is molded plastic in black, sized to mount cleanly into a standard helm or dash panel, and carries an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water exposure in an open helm environment. It is backed by a 3 year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lewmar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68000593\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rocker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual direction (up\/down)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e ON-OFF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 or 24 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normally closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Protection Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 x 4.5 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09375 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 year manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 743683317088\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Lewmar 68000593 switch used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 68000593 is a guarded rocker switch that provides dual direction up and down control for a boat windlass, letting you retrieve or deploy anchor from a helm, wheelhouse, or flybridge station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Lewmar 68000593 work on both 12 volt and 24 volt boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 68000593 switch operates on either 12 or 24 Volt DC systems, making it compatible with most common marine electrical setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat amperage is the Lewmar 68000593 rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This switch is rated for 5 Amps, sized for control circuit switching on windlass systems that use a solenoid contactor or control box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the guard on this rocker switch do?\u003c\/strong\u003e A raised plastic guard surrounds the rocker on the Lewmar 68000593 to help prevent accidental activation from bumps or stray gear at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Lewmar 68000593 rocker switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is finished in black, matching common marine dash and helm panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the Lewmar 68000593 switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The switch measures 5.5 x 4.5 x 2 inches, sized for mounting into a standard helm or dash panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Lewmar 68000593 switch made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing is molded plastic, with brass contact material inside for the electrical contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Lewmar 68000593 protected against water exposure at the helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it carries an IP65 protection rating, suited to an open helm, wheelhouse, or flybridge location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of electrical contacts does this switch use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 68000593 uses normally closed contacts with screw terminals and a clamp-type connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Lewmar 68000593 come with a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is backed by a 3 year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lewmar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025138426075,"sku":"LEW-68000593","price":88.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/img_afc0ac01-9fa5-45b0-a685-622ee9c7c1ba.jpg?v=1785332757","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/lewmar-guarded-rocker-switch-68000593-dual-direction-12v-24v-dc-windlass-control-switch","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
