{"product_id":"blue-sea-7098-bss-285-185-circuit-breaker-bezel","title":"Blue Sea 7098-BSS 285\/185 Circuit Breaker Bezel","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Blue Sea Systems 7098-BSS is a self-trimming molded rubber bezel that finishes the cutout around a 285-Series or 185-Series panel mount circuit breaker. It hides the raw edge, dresses up the helm, and gives your DC panel a clean, factory look. Black rubber, sold single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're building or refreshing a DC distribution panel, the breaker is only half the job. The cutout around it is the other half. That rough rectangular opening in the plywood or aluminum sub-panel needs a finished edge, and that's exactly what this Blue Sea Systems 7098-BSS bezel does. It's a molded rubber trim ring sized for the 285-Series and 185-Series panel mount circuit breakers. It frames the breaker, hides the raw cutout, and gives the helm a clean, intentional look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelf-trimming is the feature boaters ask about most. The molded rubber lip flexes to cover a slightly oversized or slightly ragged cutout, so you don't have to cut a perfect rectangle down to the thousandth. Get the opening close, seat the breaker, push the bezel on, and the lip trims itself around the edge. If you've ever cut a panel by hand on a rolling boat, you know how forgiving that is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is simple. This bezel fits two families, the older 185-Series and the newer 285-Series panel mount breakers. Blue Sea built the 285-Series as a direct drop-in replacement for the 185-Series, so both share the same mounting footprint and both use this same 7098-BSS bezel. If your panel runs 185-Series breakers today and you swap in 285-Series units later, the bezel carries right over. One part covers both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere would you use it? Think helm switch panels on a center console, the DC breaker bank at a sailboat's nav station, an accessory panel next to the battery switch on a pontoon, or a custom sub-panel in a project boat. Anywhere you've cut an opening for a 185 or 285 breaker and want it to look factory-finished. The black rubber blends into most dark panel faces and works well against HDPE panels or a painted aluminum plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's worth being clear about what this part is and isn't. This is the bezel only. It does not include a circuit breaker. You pick the breaker, the amp rating, and the series you need, then add the 7098-BSS as the finishing piece. Because it's a trim and mounting accessory rather than an electrical component, there's no wiring involved. It's also not a waterproof boot. If you need a sealed or splashproof breaker cover, that's a different product. This bezel's job is a clean cutout and a tidy panel face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall takes a minute. The molded rubber holds itself around the breaker body in the cutout, so in most panels you don't need extra fasteners. If you pull the breaker later for service or troubleshooting, the bezel comes off with it and reseats when you put everything back. That makes it friendly for the kind of panel that gets revisited as you add gear over the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Sea Systems has built its name on marine DC electrical gear that holds up in the salt, damp, and vibration that come with life on the water. The 7098-BSS fits right into that lineup. It's a small accessory, but the details matter on a panel you'll be reaching for in the dark, in a chop, looking for the right breaker. A finished bezel makes each position easy to read and easy to reach, and it keeps the whole panel looking cared for. For anyone wiring a new console, refitting an older boat, or just tidying up a breaker bank that's looked rough for a few seasons, it's an easy piece to add.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7098-BSS is sold as a single bezel. It's compact at 2.44 inches wide by 3.31 inches high, taking up the same panel space as the breaker it frames. If you're finishing a multi-breaker bank, order one bezel for each breaker position you want dressed. It's a small, honest upgrade that makes a home-built or refreshed DC panel look like it came off a production line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-trimming molded rubber bezel finishes a rough or oversized breaker cutout for a clean panel face\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits both 285-Series and 185-Series panel mount circuit breakers, so one part covers current and legacy panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack rubber finish blends into dark panel faces and painted aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2.44 in wide by 3.31 in high footprint matches the breaker it frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-on install holds in the cutout without extra fasteners in most panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemoves with the breaker for service and reseats on reinstall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBezel only, pairs with the 285-Series or 185-Series breaker of your choice (breaker sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold single, order one per breaker position you want finished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Blue Sea Systems reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does the Blue Sea 7098-BSS actually do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a molded rubber bezel that frames a 285-Series or 185-Series panel mount circuit breaker and finishes the cutout around it.
