Sea-Dog Heavy Duty Battery Switch 420600-1, On/Off with Removable Key, 12-24V 75A Continuous
The Sea-Dog Heavy Duty Battery Switch (420600-1) is an On/Off battery disconnect switch built from injection molded nylon for corrosion resistance in marine electrical systems. It carries a 500A momentary rating and a 75A continuous rating at 12-24VDC, making it suitable for isolating a boat's battery from the electrical system when the vessel is not in use or during service work. A removable key is included so the switch can be locked in the Off position, adding a layer of security against unauthorized starts or electrical drain. The switch body measures 4 inches (A dimension), 1-5/8 inches (B dimension), and 2-1/4 inches (C dimension), with a 3/8 inch stud diameter for connecting battery cable terminals. At just 0.29 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component that mounts easily in tight helm or engine bay locations. This is a straightforward On/Off function switch (not a dual-battery selector), designed for boaters who need a reliable, simple main power disconnect. The nylon housing and screw terminal construction are built to withstand the vibration and moisture typical of marine environments.
