Blue Sea Systems Contura Water Resistant DC Circuit Breaker Panel, 12/24V, IP66

Overview

The Blue Sea Systems Contura Water-Resistant DC Circuit Breaker Panel is a 12V/24V DC switch and breaker panel for boat circuits that need control and circuit protection in one clean panel. It uses ON-OFF Contura switches with embedded ON indicator LEDs and push button reset-only circuit breakers with waterproof boots, so it works well in exposed locations where rain, spray and washdowns are part of normal use.

The panel front is rated IP66 for protection against powerful water jets and includes a watertight mounting gasket. It is also ignition protected for use aboard gasoline powered boats, which makes it a practical fit for flybridges, open cockpits, helm stations and other DC distribution points that may see weather and vibration.

Each switch is rated 20A at 12V DC and 15A at 24V DC. The 3, 4 and 6 position panels have a 45A cumulative panel rating, while the 8 position panels have a 90A cumulative panel rating.

Key features

• Works with 12V DC and 24V DC boat electrical systems.
• IP66-rated panel front helps protect the controls from heavy spray and washdowns.
• Ignition protected for installation aboard gasoline powered boats.
• ON-OFF Contura switches include embedded ON indicator LEDs for clear circuit status at the helm.
• Push button reset-only circuit breakers use waterproof boots to protect the breaker openings.
• Watertight mounting gasket helps seal the panel face when installed in an exposed location.
• Available in black or white panels, with 3, 4, 6 or 8 circuit positions.
• CE, UKCA, ISO 8846 and UL 1500 regulatory markings support use in marine electrical installations.

Variants

This panel range varies by panel color and number of circuit positions. Black panels use black Contura switches and black breaker boots, while white panels use gray Contura switches with white breaker boots. The position options are 3, 4, 6 and 8, letting the panel match the number of accessory circuits at the helm or cockpit without taking up more dash space than needed.

Panel size changes with the number of positions. The 3 position version measures 3.75 in high by 4.50 in wide by 3.25 in deep, the 4 position version measures 4.25 in high by 5.25 in wide by 3.25 in deep, the 6 position version measures 7.50 in high by 4.50 in wide by 3.25 in deep, and the 8 position version measures 4.25 in high by 9.37 in wide by 3.25 in deep. Across the range, the same 12V/24V DC electrical format, IP66 front rating, Contura switch style and push button reset breaker layout are used.

Installation and setup

This panel is meant for a cutout installation at a helm, flybridge, cockpit console or similar DC control location. The gasket sits behind the panel face to help keep water out at the mounting surface, while the reset buttons remain accessible from the front for quick breaker reset without opening the panel.

The quick connect 15A breakers simplify wiring compared with loose inline protection, but the circuit load, wire gauge and upstream protection still need to be matched to the boat's electrical plan. For refits, check the available cutout area, panel depth and circuit count before replacing an older switch panel.

Use cases on board

This panel is a good match for controlling common DC loads such as lights, pumps, electronics accessories and cockpit equipment from one visible location. The LED switch indicators are useful at night or in a busy cockpit because active circuits can be checked at a glance.

Boaters working on center consoles, flybridge stations, fishing cockpits and small cruiser helms will get the most value from this style of panel when the installation needs weather resistance, straightforward reset access and a clean switch layout in a compact footprint.

What's included

• 15A push button reset-only quick connect circuit breakers matched to the panel position count.
• 60-label set matched to the panel color.
• Contura SPST OFF-ON switches matched to the panel color and position count.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
