It protects heavy wiring runs on gear like 48V trolling motor rigs and bow thrusters, and the switchable design lets it double as a manual disconnect. IP67 rated and ABYC compliant, it's ready for a wet console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sea-Dog SD-17 is a resettable thermal circuit breaker built for high-current 48-volt DC systems. Rated at 120 amps, it protects the heavy wiring runs that feed gear like 48V trolling motor setups, bow thrusters, windlasses, and inverters. Wired inline on the positive feed, it trips before an overload or short cooks your wiring or your gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this one handy is the switchable design. It's a manual-reset breaker, so after a fault you flip it back on by hand once you've sorted out the problem. But that switch also works as a disconnect. You can kill power to a circuit right at the breaker without pulling a battery terminal, which is a nice touch when you're servicing a motor or laying the boat up for the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's rated IP67, so it shrugs off dust and short bouts of submersion. That's good for open consoles, bilge-adjacent spots, and anywhere spray tends to find its way. The housing is black plastic, it mounts flat to a surface, and it wires in through 1\/4 inch-28 stud terminals that take a proper ring lug and torque down tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandards matter on a boat, and this one carries them. It meets SAE J1625, ABYC E-11, UL1077, and SAE J1171. So if you're wiring to ABYC guidelines, or you've got an insurance survey coming up, that compliance is already covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne sizing note before you order. Match the breaker to your wire gauge and load, not just the motor. A 120-amp breaker suits a 48V circuit pulling up to roughly that draw, so check your motor's max continuous amp rating and size your wire to match. Undersize it and you'll fight nuisance trips, oversize it and you lose the protection. Not sure what your setup pulls? Give us a call, we wire these up all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e120-amp rating at 48 volts DC protects heavy high-current circuits like 48V trolling motors, thrusters, and windlasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwitchable manual reset doubles as a disconnect, so you can kill a circuit without pulling a battery terminal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67 protection rating stands up to dust and temporary submersion for exposed and bilge-adjacent mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch-28 stud terminals accept ring lugs for a secure, torque-down connection on heavy cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurface-mount black plastic housing installs flat on a console, panel, or bulkhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to SAE J1625, ABYC E-11, UL1077, and SAE J1171 for compliant marine DC wiring\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 Sea-Dog 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 is the SD-17 rated for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a 120-amp breaker for 48-volt DC systems.
