Sea-Dog SD-13 15A Marine Circuit Breaker, Push-Reset
Sea-Dog SD-13 15A Marine Circuit Breaker, Push-Reset — Product description
The Sea-Dog SD-13 is a 15 amp thermal circuit breaker built to guard marine DC circuits against overloads and shorts. It's ignition protected to UL1500, so it's safe near fuel and engine spaces. When it trips, you just push the white button to reset. No tools, no spare fuses to dig for.
The Sea-Dog SD-13 handles the job every boat's electrical system needs: it trips before an overloaded or shorted circuit can cook your wiring. This one's rated at 15 amps, so it suits mid-draw accessories like bilge pumps, livewell pumps, washdown pumps, or a bank of cabin lights. It carries 250 volts AC and 50 volts DC, which covers just about any onboard circuit you'll wire it into.
What makes it right for a boat is the ignition-protected rating to UL1500. That means it won't throw a spark that could set off fuel vapors, so you can mount it in an engine compartment or near the tank without worry. It's also UL 1077 and cUL listed.
Reset is dead simple. When it trips, you just push the white button back in. No fuses to carry, no fumbling in a tackle box for a spare. The Bakelite housing takes the heat and the vibration that come with life on the water, and the 1/4 inch quick connect terminals make wiring quick. It panel mounts with just 3/16 inch of depth behind the dash.

Frequently asked questions
Is the SD-13 safe to install near a fuel tank or engine?
Yes. It's ignition protected to UL1500, which means it won't throw a spark that could ignite fuel vapors. That's what makes it right for engine compartments and spaces near the tank.
What does the 15 amp rating cover?
It'll protect circuits drawing up to 15 amps, which fits things like bilge pumps, livewell and washdown pumps, and banks of cabin lights. Match the breaker to the wire gauge and the load it feeds.
How do I reset it after it trips?
Just push the white button back in. It's a push-to-reset design, so there's nothing to replace and no spare fuse to carry.
How does it mount and wire up?
It panel mounts and needs only 3/16 inch of depth behind the dash. The two 1/4 inch quick connect terminals take standard spade connectors, so wiring is quick.
