Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 8293 is a Contura actuator removal tool for Blue Sea Systems Contura switches. It mounts on the switch, is made from thermal plastic polycarbonate with a hard nylon surface overlay, and weighs 0.04 lb (0.02 kg).

This is the small service tool you keep with panel parts when a rocker actuator needs to come off and go back on without turning a simple switch change into a longer job. It is especially useful during panel refits, legend changes, or switch replacement work where the actuator needs to match a switch that uses embedded LEDs and the correct lens layout.

Key features

• Mounts on Blue Sea Systems Contura switches for actuator removal and replacement.
• Built from thermal plastic polycarbonate with a hard nylon surface overlay.
• Made for actuator layouts that correspond to embedded LED lens positions.
• Light 0.04 lb size that is easy to keep in a panel service kit.
• Useful when changing switch legends, replacing worn actuators, or reworking an existing Contura switch panel.

Compatibility and fit

This tool is a good match for boats already fitted with Blue Sea Systems Contura switches at the helm, dash, cabin, or accessory panel. It is also a sensible spare for installers and yards that stock replacement actuators and build or service Blue Sea switch panels on a regular basis.

Installation and setup

The tool mounts onto the switch so the actuator can be removed and replaced in a controlled way during service. When working with switches that use embedded LEDs, check that the replacement actuator has the same lens arrangement before the panel is put back into use.
