Whitecap S-8051C On/Off Rocker Switch, SPST 12V 15A
Whitecap S-8051C On/Off Rocker Switch, SPST 12V 15A — Product description
Need a simple on-off switch for the helm? The Whitecap S-8051C is a black SPST rocker rated for 15 amps at 12 volts. Bakelite body that shrugs off heat, non-lighted, and priced so you can grab a couple for the console and the spares drawer.
The Whitecap S-8051C is a plain black rocker switch that does one job and does it well. On, off, done. It's a single pole single throw (SPST) switch, so it controls one circuit, and it's rated for 15 amps at 12 volts DC. That's enough for most helm accessories like livewell pumps, wash-down pumps, deck lights, or a horn.
The body is bakelite, not cheap plastic. Bakelite handles heat without warping or cracking, which matters when a switch lives on a sun-baked console or close to an engine. It's non-lighted, so there's no backlight to burn out, and the black finish blends into most dash panels without drawing attention.
Heads up, this one ships without a safety cover. If you're wiring something you don't want bumped on accidentally, like a bilge pump override, plan to add a boot or guard separately. For everyday on-off duty though, it's a clean, reliable switch at a price that won't make you think twice.
