Blue Sea Systems Contura Switch Mounting Panel, 6 Position, For 6 Panel Thicknesses

Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 8260 is a 6-position Contura switch mounting panel for building a grouped rocker-switch layout on a boat. It fits panel thicknesses from 0.06 in to 0.38 in (1.57 to 9.52 mm), which is one of the main fit checks when you are replacing an existing panel or planning a new switch location.

This part is the mounting frame, not the switch itself. It holds six compatible Contura-format switches in one section and keeps the layout neat at the helm, inside the cabin, or on an accessory control panel. The modular format also lets matching panels be assembled together when a larger switch bank is needed.

Key features

• 6-position mounting panel for compatible Blue Sea Systems Contura switch installations
• Fits panel thicknesses of 0.06 in, 0.09 in, 0.13 in, 0.19 in, 0.25 in, and 0.38 in
• Modular panel format supports grouped switch layouts in larger custom installations
• Useful for refits and new builds where six switches need to be aligned in one dedicated section
• Mechanical mounting component only, so switch function and circuit rating depend on the switches installed

Compatibility and fit

This panel is a fit and layout component, so the main buying checks are switch format and panel thickness rather than 12V or 24V system voltage. Electrical function, illumination, and circuit capacity come from the compatible switches you install in it.

It is a practical match for boats that need a tidy bank of rocker switches for lighting, pumps, or other accessory circuits, especially when six switch positions are enough and you want them grouped in one consistent panel section.

Installation and setup

Before ordering, confirm the thickness of the mounting surface where the panel will sit. This model works across six panel thicknesses, which helps when you are fitting it into different helm panels, console faces, or interior switch boards.

For new layouts, the modular construction is useful when the panel needs to sit beside matching switch sections. For replacement work, it helps keep a factory-style look when the boat already uses the Contura switch format.
