Manual reset means you clear a trip by hand instead of hunting for a spare fuse, and the IP66-sealed housing shrugs off spray. Surface mount with 5\/16 inch-18 stud terminals, built to ABYC and UL standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sea-Dog SD-87 is a 40-amp resettable circuit breaker built for the kind of DC circuits you actually run on a boat. Bilge pumps, windlasses, electronics feeds, accessory panels, anything that pulls a steady load and needs protection close to the battery. It handles up to 48 volts DC, so it covers 12, 24, 36, and 48-volt systems without you having to think twice about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets a good breaker apart from a fuse is that you can bring it back to life. When this one trips, you flip it back with the manual reset. No digging through a spares box for the right fuse in a rolling anchorage. Find the fault, fix it, push the breaker back in, and you're running again. That alone makes it worth the money on any circuit you can't afford to lose while you're out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a surface-mount unit, so it bolts flat to a bulkhead, a panel, or the side of a battery box. The connections are 5\/16 inch-18 stud terminals, which take a proper ring terminal and a lock washer and stay put through vibration and pounding. That's the connection you want on a windlass or thruster feed, not a push-on spade that works loose after a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea-Dog sealed this one to an IP66 rating, so wind-driven spray and washdown water won't find their way into the mechanism. The housing is black plastic and it's sized to sit in a machinery space or an exposed console without complaint. It meets SAE J553, ABYC E-11, UL1077, and SAE J1171, which is the paperwork surveyors and insurers like to see on a marine build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of things to keep in mind. This is the single-breaker version, so order one per circuit you're protecting. And it's a 40-amp unit, so size it to the wire and the load, not just whatever's on the shelf. Match the breaker to the smallest wire in the run and you'll be right. For a lot of mid-size accessory and pump circuits, 40 amps is the sweet spot.\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 rating protects mid-size DC circuits like pumps, windlasses, and accessory feeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 48 volts DC, covers 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual reset button clears a trip by hand, no spare fuse to carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP66-sealed housing keeps out wind-driven spray and washdown water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch-18 stud terminals take ring terminals for a secure, vibration-proof connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurface-mount design bolts flat to a bulkhead, panel, or battery box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets SAE J553, ABYC E-11, UL1077, and SAE J1171 marine standards\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 size circuit does the SD-87 protect?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a 40-amp breaker, so it's sized for mid-size DC circuits.
