Overview
The Vimar 13745 is an IP55 cover for 4 Idea modules or 4 8000 special modules. It is a plastic protective cover for a 4-module control point, and it comes with 4 adaptors for 8000 standard modules. This range is offered in grey or ivory.
For boat installations where a switch position may be exposed to splashes or regular washdowns, this cover adds a sealed front over the module set without changing the underlying Idea or 8000 layout. The IP55 rating applies when it is installed on a wall surface that is smooth and waterproof, without grooves.
The construction uses full insulating material, which makes it a practical match for enclosed electrical points where you want a protected front cover and a clean finish around the installed modules.
Key features
- Fits 4 Idea modules or 4 8000 special modules
- Includes 4 adaptors for 8000 standard modules
- IP55 protection when installed on a wall surface that is smooth and waterproof, without grooves
- Plastic construction with full insulating material

Variants
This product is offered in two finish options within the same 4-module IP55 cover format.
Across both versions, the module capacity, Idea and 8000 compatibility, plastic construction, and the included adaptors for 8000 standard modules stay the same. The change between variants is the finish color.
- VM13745.Q.A: Color Ivory. This version works well where the surrounding trim or switch frames use a lighter finish.
- VM13745.Q: Color Grey. This version blends more naturally with technical panels and spaces that already use grey electrical hardware.
Compatibility and fit
This is a cover for a 4-module arrangement in the Vimar Idea and 8000 families, not a universal mounting box. Before ordering, it is worth confirming that your panel uses a 4-module layout and that the installed devices match the Idea system or the 8000 format supported by the included adaptors.
Installation and setup
The sealing performance depends on the mounting surface as much as the cover itself. To reach the stated IP55 protection, the wall surface needs to be smooth, waterproof, and free from grooves so the cover can close and seat correctly. That detail matters on board, especially around helm panels, cockpit service points, and other exposed control locations.
Use on board
This cover suits boats that use Vimar modular switching and need a protected 4-module face in places where spray, damp hands, or routine cleaning are part of normal use. It is a sensible fit for exterior utility panels and protected helm or cockpit positions where the module family is already in place and the finish needs to match the surrounding interior or panel hardware.
