- Questions

What's the difference between marine and automotive switches for boats?

Marine switches feature corrosion-resistant materials, waterproof seals and higher IP ratings for saltwater exposure. Automotive switches lack proper sealing and corrode quickly in marine environments. Gold Coast boaters need marine-rated components with UV-resistant housings and sealed contacts for reliable long-term operation in saltwater conditions.

How do I determine correct amperage ratings for switches?

Divide watts by volts to calculate amperage, then select switches rated 25% higher than maximum load. A 300-watt device at 12 volts draws 25 amps, requiring a 30-amp switch minimum. Our Bosun's Locker team helps determine proper ratings for bilge pumps, navigation lights and other electrical loads.

Are waterproof switch panels necessary for flybridge installations?

Essential for exposed helm positions facing direct sun, rain and salt spray throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Waterproof panels feature IP66/IP67 ratings preventing moisture ingress. Standard panels corrode rapidly when exposed to weather, causing failures and safety hazards. Quality waterproof panels ensure reliable performance.

Can I replace individual switches in existing panels?

Most marine panels use standard-sized switches that can be individually replaced by matching cutout dimensions and amperage ratings. Integrated illuminated panels with built-in breakers often require complete replacement. Bring your panel specifications to our Gold Coast location for compatible replacements or upgrade recommendations.
