Product Details

The Blue Sea Systems 4181BSS is a marine-grade momentary push button switch rated for 15 amps at 12V DC. This stainless steel switch features a spring-return OFF-(ON) configuration, meaning it activates only while pressed and returns to the off position when released, making it ideal for horn circuits, windlass controls, spotlight activation, and other momentary applications.

Key Features:

  • Dual-color LED backlighting: blue when off, red when on for clear status indication
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction suitable for marine environments
  • 15 amp current rating at 12V DC for reliable performance
  • Panel mount design with 7/8-inch mounting hole requirement
  • Spring-return momentary action for positive control
  • Ignition protected for safe installation in gasoline engine spaces

This switch is built to Blue Sea Systems' marine standards, offering dependable operation in harsh saltwater conditions. The illuminated button provides excellent visibility in low-light conditions, while the stainless steel finish complements any helm or control panel installation.

The fitting was a little off around the mounting bracket

easy fast

Great product. Fit as it should. Did not look like the picture. Would be nice if it came with assembly instructions. I was going to return the product, until finding a picture of the product put together. Not like the old style in the picture. The square piece fits over the filter & is to be installed with plumber's tape. The male end connects to the square piece & to the 1/4" feed. Not too hard to install once you know what the pieces are for.

Went very well. No issues and service was fast.

Packaging could be better. Brake pads broke loose in box.

Excellent and smooth shopping experience highly recommend Autoplicity.com!!!

very good prices
