Trip it, reset it, keep going. No fuses to chase, and the manual switchable reset means it doubles as an on\/off switch for the circuit it protects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sea-Dog SD-17 is a 40-amp resettable thermal circuit breaker built for the wet, vibrating reality of a boat's DC system. Rated to 48 volts DC, it protects a circuit the honest way: when the current climbs past 40 amps, the internal thermal element trips and cuts power before the wiring cooks. Reset it and you're back in business. No fuse to hunt for in a tackle drawer, no spare to forget to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this one apart is the manual switchable reset. You can trip it by hand, which means it doubles as an on\/off switch for the circuit it protects. Wiring up a bilge blower, a windlass, an inverter feed, or an accessory bank? Kill power at the breaker when you're working on the gear downstream, no need to pull a battery terminal. Flip it back and the circuit's live again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a surface-mount unit in a black plastic housing, so it sits flat against a bulkhead or a panel back and screws down through its mounting holes. Connections land on 1\/4 inch-28 stud terminals, so you're torquing ring terminals down onto studs rather than fighting push-on spades. That's the connection you want on anything carrying real current on a boat that pounds. Studs stay put when the ride gets rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SD-17 carries an IP67 protection rating, which means it shrugs off spray, rain, and the occasional dunking that comes with life near the bilge or on an open console. It's built to SAE J1625, ABYC-E11, UL1077, and SAE J1171 standards, so it meets the marine wiring codes a surveyor or an insurer cares about. If you're rigging a new circuit or replacing a breaker that's gotten weak and nuisance-trips, this is a straightforward, code-legal fix. Not sure whether 40 amps is right for your load? The rule of thumb is to size the breaker to the wire, not the device. Give us a shout and we'll help you get it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-amp thermal trip point protects the circuit and the wiring, not just the device downstream\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual switchable reset lets you trip it by hand, so it doubles as an on\/off switch for the protected circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 48 volts DC, covering 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V marine systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch-28 stud terminals for secure ring-terminal connections on high-current circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67 protection rating shrugs off spray, rain, and splash near the bilge or open console\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to SAE J1625, ABYC-E11, UL1077, and SAE J1171 standards for code-compliant marine wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurface-mount black plastic housing bolts flat to a bulkhead or panel back\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\u003eCan this breaker be used as an on\/off switch?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
