It combines the 8003 analog voltmeter with a 3-position selector switch on a 0.125 inch Aluminum 5052 alloy panel, with an overall panel size of 5.25 x 3.75 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis setup works well when you want a quick voltage check at the helm or nav station without adding a larger monitoring system. The analog display is easy to read at a glance when you are checking charging voltage, comparing battery banks, or confirming system status before leaving the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also fits well into existing metal panel layouts and can be used as an extension to an existing panel or as part of a replacement panel arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 to 16V DC measurement range that matches 12V battery systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-position switch for checking multiple battery banks with one meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8003 DC analog voltmeter already mounted in the panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.125 inch Aluminum 5052 alloy panel for a solid panel-mount installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanel dimensions of 5.25 x 3.75 inches for fit planning and replacement work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacklit meter face with separate 12V or 24V backlight connections for low-light viewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8 to 16V DC scale makes this a practical choice for 12V battery banks. On boats with separate start, house, and auxiliary banks, the selector switch gives you a simple way to move from one bank to another and compare voltage without adding multiple meters. For 24V battery banks, this is not the correct voltmeter to read that bank directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe panel format suits installations where you want voltage monitoring integrated into the main electrical panel area rather than mounted as a loose gauge elsewhere on the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe included analog meter uses a simple 4-wire connection, which helps when adding it to an existing DC panel layout. The backlight wiring is separate from the meter circuit, so the face can stay readable during night running or in lower light below deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a sensible option for owners who want a straightforward voltage reference for day boats, cruising boats, and fishing boats that rely on separate battery banks and want a clean panel-mounted solution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023132750005,"sku":"QBP373795","price":172.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1329776_qbp373795.jpg?v=1780191766","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp373795","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
