Title: Afordable Breaker Panel
Post by: slode on September 27, 2019, 02:15:42 PM
As part of the electrical re-fit on my Eclipse I wanted to replace the fuse panel that had one busted fuse holder with a breaker panel.   What I didn't realize until I started looking, is that until recently, a 6 position breaker panel was going to set you back a couple Benjamins! 

Blue Sea Systems recently came out with a line of "cheap" breaker panels.  https://www.bluesea.com/products/category/25/109/DC_Panels/Accessory_and_Circuit_Breaker_Switch_Panels

I ordered the 4322 6 months ago and it finial arrived (a fire at their production warehouse last year set them back a bit in inventory and new production.)

Like all Blue Sea stuff this is a good quality item for the price and it's a direct drop in replacement for the factory fuse panel.  Now I have a separate switch for my masthead light again, and I don't have to worry about having spare fuses!

Thanks for the info.  I'm not there yet, but a horizon project is to redo my electrical and so your link is going in my bookmarks.
