It surface-mounts with 1\/4 inch-28 stud terminals, carries an IP67 rating, and resets by hand after a fault. If you're protecting a heavy accessory run or a high-voltage battery lead, it's a clean, code-friendly way to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sea-Dog SD-17 is a resettable thermal circuit breaker rated for 50 amps at 48 volts DC. It's the kind of protection you wire into a heavy accessory run when a fuse alone won't do the job and you want to reset the circuit yourself without digging for a spare. It trips on an overload, and you flip it back on once you've sorted out the cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat 48-volt DC rating is what sets this one apart. A lot of marine breakers top out at 12 or 32 volts, so if you're running a 48-volt battery bank, a high-thrust electric-drive lead, or another 48V load, this breaker is built for that voltage. It handles up to 50 amps of continuous current, which makes it a good match for larger pumps, windlasses, inverters, and other loads that pull real amperage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a surface-mount unit, so it bolts flat to a bulkhead, panel, or mounting board. The connections are 1\/4 inch-28 stud terminals, which take a ring terminal and a nut for a solid joint that won't shake loose. That matters on a boat. Screw terminals back out over a season of pounding, and studs don't. The body is black plastic, and the reset is manual and switchable, so you can also use the lever to shut the circuit off by hand when you're working on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SD-17 carries an IP67 protection rating, so it's sealed against dust and short-term water immersion. That doesn't mean you should drop it in the bilge, but it'll shrug off spray, rain, and the damp that lives in every console. It's built to SAE J1625, ABYC E-11, UL1077, and SAE J1171 standards, so it meets the marine electrical codes surveyors and insurers care about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWire it inline as close to the power source as you can, size your cable to the load, and you've got a circuit you can protect and reset without tools. It's sold as a single breaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50-amp rating at 48 volts DC handles heavy loads like windlasses, inverters, pumps, and high-voltage battery banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67 protection rating seals against dust and short-term water immersion, so it shrugs off spray, rain, and console damp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch-28 stud terminals take ring terminals for a vibration-proof connection that won't back out over a season of pounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual switchable reset lets you trip and reset by hand, and use the lever as an on\/off disconnect when you're working on the circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurface-mount black plastic body bolts flat to a bulkhead, panel, or mounting board\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to SAE J1625, ABYC E-11, UL1077, and SAE J1171 standards for code-compliant marine 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 voltage and amperage is the SD-17 rated for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a 50-amp breaker rated for 48 volts DC.
