The panel front is rated IP67 when properly mounted with a watertight mounting gasket, and each circuit is rated 15A at 12V DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis WeatherDeck switch-only panel does not include circuit protection or backlighting. That makes it a practical match for boats that already handle fusing or breakers in a protected location, such as a separate fuse block, and need a clean switch panel at the helm or another wet-area station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with 12V DC and 24V DC marine electrical systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanel front is IP67 rated when installed with the proper watertight gasket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach circuit is rated 15A at 12V DC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated switch guards help reduce accidental switching when gear, clothing, or hands brush the panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be mounted in four orientations, which helps when space is tight at the helm or on a console face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV-stabilized faceplate snaps on and off for access to components and covers the mounting screws for a clean installed look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced polycarbonate construction handles sun, salt, spray, and vibration common on small boats and open cockpits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo built-in circuit protection, so branch circuits should be protected separately with properly sized fuses or breakers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis WeatherDeck switch panel is offered in multiple position counts, so the installed footprint and number of controllable circuits change by configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the range, the panels share the same 3.88 in width, 2.50 in depth, reinforced polycarbonate construction, 12V\/24V DC system compatibility, IP67 front rating when properly mounted, 15A at 12V DC per-circuit rating, and switch-only layout with no integrated circuit protection. The height and included switch count increase as the number of positions increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4303: 2 positions. This smaller panel fits a short accessory list, such as a pair of lighting or pump circuits, while keeping the helm layout simple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4305: 4 positions. This mid-size option adds room for common helm loads without taking up as much vertical space as the larger panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4307: 6 positions. This configuration gives more switch capacity for boats with several independent DC accessories grouped at one control point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4309: 8 positions. This larger panel suits a fuller accessory layout where multiple DC circuits need to be controlled from the same station.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the panel does not include fuses or circuit breakers, each load should be protected elsewhere in the DC distribution system with fuse or breaker sizing matched to the wire and equipment being controlled. This is especially useful when the helm needs waterproof switching but the actual circuit protection belongs in a dry, serviceable electrical area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four-orientation mounting flexibility helps the panel fit different dash layouts, vertical console faces, and retrofit openings. For the IP67 front rating to matter in real use, the mounting surface should be prepared cleanly and the watertight gasket should be installed correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis panel family is a good fit for small boats, tenders, center consoles, fishing boats, and open-helm installations where switches are exposed to spray, washdowns, and sunlight. It is especially useful when the boat is operated during daylight hours and does not require illuminated switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherDeck waterproof switch panel in the selected position count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherDeck black toggle switch boots matched to the selected position count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherDeck SPST ON-OFF toggle switches matched to the selected position count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof DC label kit with 30 black square labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"2","offer_id":52023077994677,"sku":"QBP422983-V7","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4","offer_id":52023078027445,"sku":"QBP422983-V3","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6","offer_id":52023078060213,"sku":"QBP422983-V6","price":106.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":52023078092981,"sku":"QBP422983-V4","price":132.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1333412_qbp422983.webp?v=1780191671","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp422983","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
