Common Concerns Answered
What is missing from this product that I will need to purchase separately?
The Sea-Dog circuit breaker panel does not include mounting fasteners (#6 RH screws or bolts). You will need to procure these separately to securely install the panel.
Are the included circuit breakers suitable for all applications?
The panel includes a specific assortment of thermal circuit breakers (2x 3A, 2x 6A, 1x 8A, 1x 10A). Users with specific amperage requirements beyond this selection may need to purchase and replace individual breakers to match their system's load.
What if I don't like the look of the included breakers or switches?
This panel utilizes standard SPST illuminated rocker switches and thermal circuit breakers, which are generally interchangeable with readily available marine-grade components if customization of appearance or specific ratings is desired.
