Sea-Dog 420251-1 Illuminated Rocker Switch 12V 15A
Sea-Dog 420251-1 Illuminated Rocker Switch 12V 15A — Product description
The Sea-Dog 420251-1 is a simple on-off rocker switch for 12-volt DC circuits on your boat. Rated to 15 amps, it handles lights, pumps, and accessory loads. The black actuator lights up when the circuit is live, and the IP66-rated body shrugs off wash-down spray.
The Sea-Dog 420251-1 is a straightforward on-off rocker switch built for the 12-volt DC systems on your boat. It handles up to 15 amps, so it's a solid pick for running cabin lights, a bilge pump circuit, a livewell pump, an accessory outlet, or an electric horn. The black actuator lights up when the circuit is on, which is handy at the helm after dark when you want to see at a glance what's running.
Wiring it in is simple. Three blade terminals give you power, load, and the ground leg for the illumination, and the single pole single throw design means one circuit, one switch, on or off. The body combines brass contacts with nylon and polycarbonate, and it carries an IP66 rating, so rain and wash-down spray won't get inside. That makes it a good fit for an open console, a dash panel, or anywhere topside where weather is part of the deal.
If you're replacing a corroded switch or building out a new accessory panel, this one drops in clean and wires up in a few minutes.

Frequently asked questions
What's the amp rating on the Sea-Dog 420251-1 switch?
It's rated for 15 amps at 12 volts DC. That covers most cabin lights, small pumps, and accessory circuits. For anything drawing more, switch a relay instead of the load directly.
Does this rocker switch light up?
Yes. The black actuator is illuminated, so you can tell when the circuit is on. That's why it has three terminals instead of two, the extra one feeds the light.
Is it waterproof enough for an open helm?
It carries an IP66 rating, which means it stands up to heavy rain and wash-down spray. It's a good fit for an open console or an exposed dash panel.
How is it wired?
Three blade terminals in a single pole single throw layout. One circuit, switched on or off, with the third terminal feeding the illumination.
