Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 7198 is a panel mount adapter for 285-Series and 185-Series panel mount circuit breakers. It uses a self-trimming molded rubber bezel to finish the breaker opening and give the panel face a cleaner, more intentional look.

This is the piece to use when a compatible breaker is mounted where the panel finish matters, such as at the helm, in a distribution panel, or inside an electrical locker that is easy to see and service. It does not replace the breaker itself; it is the trim adapter that helps the installation look neat once the breaker is in place.

Key features

• Fits Blue Sea Systems 285-Series and 185-Series panel mount circuit breakers
• Self-trimming molded rubber bezel helps cover and finish the breaker cutout
• Useful for visible breaker installations where a cleaner panel appearance matters
• Works as a mounting accessory without changing the breaker's function or rating

Compatibility and fit

Check that your breaker is the panel mount version in the 285-Series or 185-Series family before ordering. This adapter is not a general trim piece for other breaker styles, and it does not change the mounting style of the breaker itself.

Installation and use

The bezel sits around the compatible breaker at the panel face, which helps tidy the finished opening during a new install or a refit. It is a straightforward add-on for boat owners and installers who want the electrical panel to look finished rather than leaving the breaker cutout exposed.

This adapter makes the most sense on boats where DC breakers are mounted in visible locations and you want the panel work to stay clean and easy to live with over time.
