Blue Sea Systems Water-Resistant Accessory Panel, 12V DC, 15A Circuit Breaker, Pre-Wired Harness

Overview

The Blue Sea Systems Water-Resistant Accessory Panel is a 12V DC helm or console panel range that combines a 15A illuminated breaker switch with charging, monitoring, or blank accessory openings, depending on the selected layout.

These panels are built for small-boat and marine DC accessory stations where a clean dash installation matters. Configurations are available with a 12V socket, one or two 2.1A dual USB chargers, a mini OLED DC voltmeter, or blank apertures for customer-selected modules. Each version uses a pre-wired harness and one breaker switch, so the panel can be shut off when not in use to help reduce parasitic draw.

The panel face is made from UV-stabilized, flame-retardant polycarbonate/ABS that will not corrode. Across the range, the height is 2.25 in, with widths from 4.94 in to 8.29 in depending on layout, making the series practical for center consoles, cockpit panels, cabin switch areas, and retrofit locations with limited dash space.

Key features

• For 12V DC boat systems only, with an integrated 15A illuminated Carling Technologies circuit breaker switch.
• Breaker switch can shut off the panel when the boat is not in use, helping reduce unwanted parasitic draw from connected accessories.
• Pre-wired harness is included across the range to reduce wiring work behind the dash or console.
• Available layouts cover 12V socket power, 2.1A dual USB charging, mini OLED DC voltage monitoring, and blank apertures for custom accessory modules.
• Breaker boots and gasket help protect the panel from water ingress in exposed marine mounting areas.
• Water-resistance rating varies by layout, with IP45-rated versions for socket, USB, and voltmeter configurations and IP66-rated versions for blank-aperture configurations.
• UV-stabilized, flame-retardant polycarbonate/ABS face resists corrosion and suits saltwater cockpit, helm, and console environments.

Variants

The range varies by panel layout. Some configurations include a 12V socket, one or two 2.1A dual USB chargers, and in some cases a mini OLED DC voltmeter. Other configurations use blank apertures, with two, three, or four openings for custom accessory installation.

Across the range, each panel is for 12V DC service and uses one 15A illuminated breaker switch with a pre-wired harness. Width, depth, installed accessory modules, blank aperture count, and water-resistance rating vary by configuration, so dash space and exposure level are the main fit details to confirm at the selected variant level.

Installation and fit

This panel range is suited to dash, helm, cockpit, and cabin accessory locations where the operator needs charging or monitoring close at hand. The pre-wired harness helps keep the rear of the panel cleaner than a fully loose component build, which is useful in compact consoles and retrofit projects where access behind the mounting surface is limited.

The selected configuration should be checked against the available panel width and rear clearance before cutting or replacing an existing accessory plate. Layouts with a socket, USB chargers, or voltmeter need enough depth behind the panel for the installed modules and wiring bend radius.

Electrical use on board

The 15A breaker switch gives the accessory station a clear on-off point and circuit protection for the panel feed. This is useful for phone charging, handheld electronics, portable 12V accessories, or quick visual voltage checks at the helm when a voltmeter layout is selected.

This series is a good fit for boat owners upgrading a basic dash opening into a tidy 12V accessory station, or for builders adding a compact charging and monitoring point to a center console, fishing boat, RIB, small cruiser, or sailboat cockpit.

Materials and exposure

The non-corroding polycarbonate/ABS face is well suited to salt air, UV exposure, and regular wipe-downs around the helm. Water protection depends on the installed layout, so locations that see spray, washdowns, or open-cockpit exposure should be matched carefully with the appropriate configuration and mounted with the gasket seated correctly.
