Blue Sea Systems Contura 3 Position Switch Mounting Panel, 0.06-0.38 in Panel Thickness

Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 8259 is a 3-position Contura switch mounting panel for grouping compatible rocker switches in one clean opening. It uses a fixed three-switch layout, supports panel thicknesses from 0.06 in. to 0.38 in. (1.57 mm to 9.52 mm), and has a listed weight of 0.15 lb. for a compact install that does not add much bulk behind the helm or auxiliary control area.

This panel works well when you want a neat switch bank for common boat functions such as lighting, pumps, washdown circuits, or other accessory controls that use Contura-style switching. The modular format also makes it easier to build out a larger row by combining panels where the dash, console, or interior switch area needs more than three positions.

For refits and new builds, the main fit check is the panel thickness and the switch family you are using. On smaller center consoles, cruising boats, and utility craft, it is a practical way to keep switch spacing consistent and the finished panel looking orderly instead of piecing together separate cutouts.

Key features

• Three fixed switch positions for a grouped Contura switch layout
• Fits six panel thicknesses: 0.06 in., 0.09 in., 0.13 in., 0.19 in., 0.25 in., and 0.38 in.
• Modular construction that allows panels to be assembled into larger switch groups
• Compact panel weight of 0.15 lb. for installations where space and access matter
• Suited to helm, console, cabin, and auxiliary control locations where a tidy rocker-switch layout is needed

Compatibility and fit

This mounting panel is intended for compatible Blue Sea Systems Contura switch installations and is sized around a three-position arrangement. It is a good match when you are standardizing the look and spacing of accessory controls across a dash or adding a second switch group in a cabin, cockpit, or service area.

Before ordering, check the thickness of the mounting surface and confirm that your switch setup is part of the Contura family you are building around. That matters more than the outside appearance, especially on custom panels where cutout depth and spacing behind the face panel can affect how cleanly the switches seat.

Installation and setup

On a boat, this type of panel is most often used where the switch bank needs to stay organized and easy to reach with wet hands or while underway. The modular layout is helpful when you are expanding an existing control panel because it keeps the switch row visually consistent instead of mixing unmatched openings and bezels.

It is a sensible choice for owners, installers, and panel builders who are already using Blue Sea Systems Contura switching and want a simple three-switch mount that can fit a range of panel materials and thicknesses without changing the basic layout.

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.
