Common Concerns Answered
Does the solenoid come with the necessary remote switch?
No, the Blue Sea 7765 L-Series Solenoid Switch requires a separate remote ON-OFF switch, such as the Blue Sea 8230, which must be purchased in addition to the solenoid unit. This allows for flexible placement of the control switch.
Is this solenoid switch cost-effective?
While the initial investment for the Blue Sea 7765 L-Series Solenoid Switch may be higher than some lower-amperage or less robust alternatives, its 150A rating, hermetically sealed contacts, and continuous duty capability provide superior long-term reliability and performance for critical loads, justifying the price for demanding applications.
Why choose a hermetically sealed solenoid?
The hermetically sealed contacts in the Blue Sea 7765 L-Series Solenoid Switch provide enhanced durability by protecting the electrical connection points from moisture, salt spray, dust, and corrosive elements common in marine environments. This significantly reduces the risk of contact degradation and failure.
