Blue Sea Systems

<h3>About Blue Sea Systems</h3><p><strong>Blue Sea Systems</strong> has been a defining force in marine and specialty vehicle electrical systems since its founding in 1992 in Bellingham, Washington. Built on a straightforward but demanding mission — to improve the safety, simplicity, and reliability of onboard electrical systems — the brand has grown into one of the most trusted names among boaters, professional marine installers, RV enthusiasts, and specialized vehicle builders worldwide.</p><p>Blue Sea Systems develops and manufactures a comprehensive range of AC and DC electrical products engineered to withstand the harshest conditions on the water and the road. Moisture, vibration, extreme temperatures, and corrosive salt air are everyday realities in marine environments, and every Blue Sea product is designed with those challenges in mind. Their components are built to meet or exceed ABYC, NMMA, and U.S. Coast Guard electrical standards, giving owners and installers confidence that the system will perform when it matters most.</p><h3>What Blue Sea Systems Makes</h3><p>The Blue Sea catalog spans the full scope of onboard power management. At its core are three foundational product families that protect and control electrical systems on virtually any vessel or specialized vehicle:</p><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong><a href="/7262-blue-sea-systems-circuit-breakers-200260">Circuit Breakers</a></strong> — A broad selection of magnetic-hydraulic and thermal designs for both main and branch circuit protection in AC and DC systems. Blue Sea&apos;s trip-free designs are engineered to resist nuisance tripping from engine room heat, making them a staple in high-end marine electrical panels.</li><li><strong><a href="/2680-fuse-block-blue-sea-systems-7262">Fuse Blocks</a></strong> — From the ever-popular ST Blade Fuse Block, which consolidates multiple branch circuits into a single organized hub, to high-interrupt Class T fuse blocks rated for inverters and large battery banks, Blue Sea offers a fuse block solution for virtually every application.</li><li><strong>Battery Switching</strong> — Blue Sea&apos;s <a href="/7262-blue-sea-systems-battery-switch-12204">battery switches</a> and <a href="/7262-blue-sea-systems-battery-switches-manual-200149">manual battery switches</a> are considered the industry standard for isolating and controlling battery banks on boats of all sizes. Their m-Series and ML-Series switches cover everything from day boats to offshore yachts, while the Dual Circuit Plus&trade; design lets operators manage both start and house banks with a single control.</li></ul><p>Beyond these core categories, Blue Sea also produces automatic charging relays (ACRs), busbars, power distribution panels including their modular Custom 360 Panel system, metering and monitoring devices, and power conversion products. The breadth of the catalog means an entire vessel&apos;s electrical system — from battery to breaker to branch circuit — can be built around a single, cohesive Blue Sea platform.</p><h3>Engineering Philosophy and Standards Compliance</h3><p>What sets Blue Sea Systems apart is a relentless focus on engineering precision. Products are designed in the USA and manufactured to align with ABYC E-11 (AC &amp; DC Electrical Systems on Boats) and relevant U.S. Coast Guard regulations. The brand also offers a <a href="/7262-blue-sea-systems-circuit-breaker-2504">broad single-pole circuit breaker lineup</a> that directly satisfies CFR 46 Coast Guard requirements, removing ambiguity from compliance decisions. Blue Sea further supports installers with online tools like the Circuit Wizard and Panel Wizard, plus an extensive library of wiring diagrams and technical articles — resources that reflect a company invested in the success of every installation, not just the sale of a component.</p><p>Whether you are wiring a simple center console, refitting a bluewater cruiser, or building out an overland vehicle, Blue Sea Systems provides the components and the technical foundation to do it right.</p>

Product Details

The Blue Sea Systems 9228 is a precision analog meter shunt designed for use with DC ammeters in marine and automotive electrical systems. This shunt provides accurate current measurement by converting 50 amps of current flow into a 50 millivolt signal that can be read by standard analog DC ammeters.

Key Features:

  • 50 amp capacity with 50mV output for precise current measurement
  • Designed specifically for DC ammeter applications
  • Recommended maximum continuous operation at 33 amps (66% of rated capacity) for optimal longevity
  • Durable construction for marine and automotive environments
  • Easy installation with standard mounting configuration

This shunt is an essential component for monitoring electrical system performance, battery charging rates, and current consumption in boats, RVs, and other 12V/24V DC systems. For continuous operation under normal conditions, Blue Sea Systems recommends not exceeding two-thirds of the rated current capacity to ensure reliable long-term performance.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Autoplicity has a wide selection of parts and great prices. Fast shipping and great customer service.

Very easy to find and purchase what I needed. It showed up at a reasonable time.

Great simple ordering process.

Order confirmation was unclear. It did not provide the carrier or a tracking number that was recognized by USPS, UPS, of FedEx. Used contact form on website to request clarification, but received no reply. Order took a little longer than expected to ship,

Easy online ordering

Definitely the best price online by far! And the option to check out using Amazon is an added bonus. This will be my first stop for any future needs.

Great

Great

I ordered parts expecting my in stock items to be delivered promptly. Had a few issues there. The logistics need to be updated. I was contacted about the mistakes made and was justly compensated. I appreciate the second effort and will give them another try.

so far so good

Lowest price only by 50 cents but the free shipping made it worth it!!

Great prices and very quick shipping! Thanks
