BEP Marine

<h3>About BEP Marine</h3><p><strong>BEP Marine</strong> has been a cornerstone of the marine electrical industry since its founding in 1995 in Auckland, New Zealand. Rooted in New Zealand's world-class yachting culture — a scene shaped in no small part by successive America's Cup campaigns — BEP Marine built its reputation on engineering electrical products that could survive the most demanding conditions on the water and beyond. Today, the brand is part of the Navico Group under Brunswick Corporation, and its products are specified as original equipment by leading boat, emergency vehicle, and RV manufacturers worldwide.</p><h3>Engineering for the Harshest Environments</h3><p>What separates BEP Marine from generic electrical suppliers is a relentless focus on real-world performance. Every product in the BEP lineup is designed to meet exacting performance specifications, capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to salt air, moisture, vibration, and extreme temperatures — both at sea and on land. BEP backs this confidence with a &quot;Trusted Quality&quot; 5-year warranty across their product range, a testament to how thoroughly their components are tested before they reach your vessel.</p><p>BEP's engineering culture also prioritizes ease of integration. Whether you're wiring a simple single-battery sailboat or a complex multi-bank power system on a large cruiser, BEP products are designed to slot into both straightforward and comprehensive electrical architectures without hassle. Their innovative product lines — including the CZone digital switching system and the Pro Installer series — represent the cutting edge of onboard power management, allowing boaters to monitor and control circuits from touchscreen interfaces and minimizing valuable space in crowded electrical panels.</p><h3>Core Product Categories</h3><p>BEP Marine's catalog spans the full spectrum of marine power management. At the heart of their offering are <a href="/11486-bep-marine-battery-switch-12204">battery switches</a>, where BEP has pioneered design innovations for decades — from compact On/Off isolation switches to high-capacity selector switches rated at 400A continuous and 600A intermittent. Their award-winning EZ-Mount line (recipient of the prestigious METS DAME award) features an industry-standard footprint that clusters with other Pro Installer components, saving precious onboard space.</p><p>For remote power control and automated charging management, BEP's <a href="/11486-bep-marine-solenoids-202547">solenoids</a> allow boaters to switch high-amperage loads using low-current control circuits — essential for bow thrusters, windlasses, and other high-draw accessories. The Digital Voltage Sensing Relay (DVSR) automates second battery bank charging with exceptional efficiency.</p><p>Rounding out the core lineup, BEP's <a href="/11486-bep-marine-battery-disconnect-switches-200143">battery disconnect switches</a> deliver reliable isolation capability for single or dual battery banks, ensuring your vessel's electrical system can be safely de-energized for maintenance, storage, or emergency situations. Motorized disconnect variants allow remote operation, making them ideal for installations where the battery is difficult to access directly.</p><h3>Who Uses BEP Marine?</h3><p>BEP Marine serves both OEM boat builders and the marine aftermarket, with a product range trusted by recreational boaters, commercial operators, and emergency vehicle fleets across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Oceania. If your application demands reliable, durable, and intelligently designed electrical components, BEP Marine delivers solutions built to go the distance.</p>

Product Details

The BEP Marine 720-MDO-EP is a remotely activated, high-current emergency parallel switch designed for critical marine battery management. This motorized switch enables emergency starting of large engines with up to 2500A cranking capacity for 10 seconds, making it ideal for diesel vessels and boats with multiple battery banks.

Emergency Parallel Operation:

The switch conveniently activates via a momentary dash button that parallels both battery banks for 10 minutes—providing ample time for emergency starting without the risk of draining your start battery. After 10 minutes, the switch automatically disengages, eliminating concerns about accidentally leaving batteries paralleled. A manual override option provides backup control when needed.

Marine-Grade Construction:

Engineered specifically for harsh marine environments, this switch features tinned copper conductors for superior corrosion resistance, stainless steel hardware, and high-temperature fiber-reinforced plastic housing. The ignition-protected design meets marine safety standards and offers flexible installation with both recessed and surface mounting options.

Key Features:

  • 500A continuous rating with 2500A cranking capability for 10 seconds
  • 12/24V dual voltage operation (both battery banks must match voltage)
  • Automatic 10-minute timer prevents battery drain from forgotten parallel connection
  • Remote dash-mounted momentary button operation
  • Manual override for emergency situations
  • Ignition protected for marine safety compliance
  • Tinned copper conductors and stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance
  • Compact 4" x 4" x 4.3" footprint
  • Recessed or surface mount installation options

Package Includes:

  • 720-MDO-EP Emergency Parallel Switch
  • Installation manual

Note: Both battery banks must operate at the same voltage (both 12V or both 24V). This unit provides emergency parallel function only and does not include voltage-sensitive automatic switching.
