Common Concerns Answered
Is the amperage rating sufficient for all marine applications?
This switch is rated for 8A @ 125V AC and 5A @ 12V/24V DC, which is ideal for many lower-draw circuits. For very high-draw applications, consider dedicated higher-amperage circuit protection and switches.
Can this switch be used on its own without the 360 Panel System?
The Blue Sea 7491 is designed specifically as a module for the Blue Sea 360 Panel System, requiring the panel frame and other compatible modules for its intended use and full functionality.
What are the benefits of the 360 Panel System over individual switches?
The 360 Panel System provides unparalleled modularity and flexibility, enabling custom configurations with a single integrated panel. This allows for cleaner installations, easier future modifications, and a more streamlined appearance compared to multiple standalone switches.
