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 e-Series Dual Circuit Plus Battery Switch provides professional-grade power management for marine electrical systems. This advanced switch isolates Start and House battery circuits, preventing accidental discharge of the starting bank while protecting sensitive electronics from voltage sags and spikes during engine cranking. The emergency combine feature allows cross-connection of both battery banks when additional power is needed for starting or critical radio calls.

Key Features:

  • Dual circuit design maintains battery bank separation while enabling simultaneous switching
  • Emergency combine function draws power from both batteries when needed
  • 350 ampere continuous rating per circuit with 1000 ampere total capacity
  • 700 ampere cranking rating for 30 seconds handles high-demand starting loads
  • Long 7/8" tin-plated copper studs accept up to 4/0 AWG cables
  • Ignition protected for safe installation in gasoline engine compartments
  • Tactile face textures enable operation by feel in low-light conditions
  • Compatible with Perko and Guest low-amperage switch mounting patterns
  • Surface or rear panel mounting options for flexible installation
  • Includes snap-out isolator covers and identification labels

Technical Specifications:

  • Maximum Voltage: 32V DC
  • Continuous Rating: 350A per circuit
  • Intermittent Rating: 525A (5 minutes)
  • Cranking Rating: 700A (30 seconds)
  • Terminal Stud Size: 3/8" x 7/8" long
  • Recommended Cable Size: 4/0 AWG for rated capacity
  • Mounting Holes: Four 1/4" diameter
  • Dimensions: 3-5/8" diameter x 2-5/8" depth
  • Certifications: UL 1107, UL 1500, SAE J1171, ABYC compliant

UL Listed for safety and reliability, this switch meets stringent ABYC battery switch standards. The one-piece cast copper studs handle high torque loads required for secure, low-resistance connections. Ideal for use with Automatic Charging Relays to create a simplified, automated battery management system. Backed by Blue Sea Systems lifetime warranty.
