{"product_id":"bluewater-22mm-ring-style-button-stainless-replacement","title":"Bluewater 22mm Ring Style Button - Stainless Steel","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThis is the genuine Bluewater 22mm ring style button in stainless steel, the exact replacement cap for their 22mm LED lit electronic push button switches. If the face on your helm switch has cracked, fogged, or gone dull, you don't need a whole new switch. Just swap the button and the panel reads factory-fresh again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's be clear about what this is up front. It's the button itself, the stainless steel ring-style cap that presses into a Bluewater 22mm LED lit electronic push button switch. It isn't a complete switch. If your switch body still works but the face has taken a beating, this is the part that brings it back to life without you pulling the whole assembly out of the dash and rewiring it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePush buttons live a hard life on a boat. The one that fires your washdown pump or your spreader lights gets pressed with wet, salty hands a few thousand times a season. Over the years the face can craze, the finish can dull, or the actuator can start to feel mushy under your thumb. On an LED lit switch that's especially annoying, because a hazy button muddies the light that's supposed to tell you the circuit is live. Dropping in a fresh ring style button clears all of that up in a couple of minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring style refers to the illuminated ring that glows around the button face when the switch is powered. It pairs with the LED in the Bluewater 22mm switch body, so when you seat the new cap the ring lights the same way it did on day one. Stainless steel is the right material for this job. It shrugs off the salt, the UV, and the constant thumbing that would pit or yellow a lesser button. On a center console dash that sees spray all day, that matters more than it sounds like it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is about as simple as marine work gets, but a couple of details are worth respecting. The button seats into a 22mm panel opening, so if you're also cutting a fresh hole, keep it exact. An oversized cutout is the number one way water works its way behind a console switch. When you set the switch, bed it against the panel so spray can't track in behind the ring, especially on a flybridge or any helm that lives out in the weather. And give the face a wipe now and then with fresh water. Salt is patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone running a Bluewater 22mm LED lit electronic push button switch that's starting to show its age. Keep one or two in the spare parts bin if you've got a panel full of them, because when one button goes the rest usually aren't far behind. It's a genuine Bluewater part, MPN 9451-1002, so the fit and the feel match the original exactly. No filing, no shimming, no guessing whether the ring will line up with the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on the electrical side, since these switches control real loads. The button and switch handle the signal just fine, but heavy draws like a windlass or a big pump should run through a properly sized relay or solenoid rather than leaning on the switch to carry all that current directly. Size your wiring to the load and the length of the run, not just to whatever fits the terminal. That's good practice on any helm panel, and it's what keeps the switch, and this button, working season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more time, so there's no confusion at the parts counter. This is a replacement button, sold one at a time, for an existing Bluewater 22mm switch. It's not the switch, not the wiring harness, and not a universal button that fits every 22mm hole out there. It's cut to work with the Bluewater 22mm LED lit switch series and nothing else. If you're not sure which switch you've got, measure the cutout at 22mm and check the body for the Bluewater mark before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor ten bucks, keeping a couple of these around is cheap insurance. A cracked or foggy button is the kind of small thing that makes an otherwise clean helm look tired, and it's a five-minute fix once the part is in your hand. We stock the genuine Bluewater button so you're not gambling on an off-brand cap that almost fits. Order it, swap it, and get back to the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e22mm ring-style button face, a direct drop-in for Bluewater 22mm LED lit electronic push button switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction stands up to salt, spray, and UV on an exposed helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIlluminated ring design lines up with the switch's LED so the light reads the same as new\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Bluewater part, MPN 9451-1002, for an exact fit and feel with no filing or shimming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores a cracked, fogged, or dull switch face without replacing the whole switch assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeats into a standard 22mm panel cutout for a quick five-minute swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually, easy to keep a spare or two in the parts bin\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 Bluewater 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\u003eIs this a complete switch or just the button?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJust the button.
