Controlling power safely starts with the right switches.

Choosing the right part comes down to the switching function you need and sizing the switch to the load.

Battery switches and disconnects

A battery switch lets you disconnect the bank for safety and storage. In many setups it also lets you select which battery feeds the boat. Simple on off switches isolate a single bank. One two both selector switches let you choose battery one, battery two, both, or off. A dual circuit switch keeps the start and house banks separate while combining them when needed. Pick the switch that matches how your banks are wired.

Automatic charging relays

An ACR joins the start and house batteries when a charging source is present so both banks charge. It then separates them so house loads cannot drain the starting battery. This is the simple hands off way to keep your engine battery topped and protected. Match the ACR amperage to your charging output.

Source selectors and rotary switches

AC rotary switches let you select between shore power, a generator, or an inverter. Only one source feeds the panel at a time. This is a safety must. Size the rotary switch to the AC amperage and the number of sources you run.

Rocker switches and panels

Blue Sea Contura rocker switches and labels build clean switch panels for pumps, lights, and accessories. Match the switch rating to the circuit load. Use the right base and labels for a finished panel.

Size the switch to the load

Every switch has an amperage rating that must comfortably exceed the continuous load it carries. Undersizing a switch causes heat and failure. Add margin especially on high draw circuits like windlasses and inverters. Add AC isolation covers where required for safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a battery switch do?

A battery switch lets you disconnect the bank for safety and storage. In many setups it also lets you select which battery feeds the boat. Options range from simple on off switches to one two both selectors and dual circuit switches that keep start and house banks separate.

What is an ACR and do I need one?

An automatic charging relay joins the start and house batteries when a charging source is present so both charge. It then separates them so house loads cannot drain the starting battery. This is a simple hands off way to protect your engine battery.

Why use an AC source selector switch?

An AC rotary switch lets only one source such as shore power, generator, or inverter feed the panel at a time. That prevents backfeeding and is a safety must on any boat with more than one AC source.

How do I size a switch to my load?

Every switch has an amperage rating that must comfortably exceed the continuous load it carries. Undersizing causes heat and failure. Add margin especially on high draw circuits like windlasses and inverters.

What are isolation covers for?

AC isolation covers shield live AC terminals to prevent accidental contact. They are required on many installs for safety. Match the cover to the module or switch it protects.
