Overview
The Blue Sea Systems 7160 is a protective boot for Short Stop circuit breakers. It covers the breaker connection area with a pre-cut opening that lets wiring exit from different angles, which helps when the breaker is mounted in a tight panel, locker, or service space.
This boot meets ABYC insulation requirements and adds a cleaner, safer finish around the breaker terminals. It also helps reduce exposure to dust, splashing water, and accidental contact around the protected connection point. Weight is 0.06 lb (0.03 kg), so it adds very little bulk to the installation.
It is a sensible replacement when the original boot is missing, damaged, or worn from years of service. For boats that use Blue Sea Systems Short Stop breakers in semi-exposed areas, this small part helps keep the circuit protection setup properly covered without changing the breaker itself.

Compatibility and fit
This boot is intended for the Short Stop breaker style, so fit should be checked against that breaker family rather than other push-button breaker types. It is used where you want to restore the original protective cover around the breaker connection area without replacing the breaker body.
On board, that matters most in places where the breaker is easy to bump during routine service or where wiring sits near lockers, consoles, and distribution points that are not fully sealed from everyday marine mess. It suits owners replacing a lost boot and installers finishing a cleaner DC protection layout on small craft, cruisers, fishing boats, and sailboats.
Installation and setup
The pre-cut opening makes cable routing easier when the wire run does not approach the breaker from a straight line. That can save time in tight spaces where terminal clearance and wire bend matter as much as the breaker location itself.
Because this part is only the protective boot, it works as an accessory in the installation rather than as a circuit protection device. It is there to cover and insulate the breaker connection area once the breaker and wiring are already in place.
