Marine Stainless Steel Switch Panel, 6 Gang (LED Backlit + Horn Feature)
This 6-switch stainless panel is designed to centralize control of almost all electrical systems on your boat. With a total of six switches, it offers flexibility in allocation – for example, you can dedicate switches to navigation lights, cabin lights, various pumps (bilge, freshwater), electronic devices (GPS, fishfinder), and more. The 50820-6S variant is configured with five standard on/off switches and one momentary switch (e.g., for the horn). When you press the momentary switch, its red LED illuminates, signaling activation – useful when issuing short horn blasts or operating a device that requires holding (such as a horn or a trim/tilt function).
As with the 4-switch stainless model, the faceplate here is made of marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316), which resists corrosion even with daily use in harsh saltwater conditions. The panel is built with safety in mind: automatic breakers or fuses (depending on configuration) protect the circuits – in this case, there are four 15A fuses safeguarding the six circuits. This is achieved by grouping some of the lower-load circuits in pairs under one fuse without compromising safety (each pair is appropriately rated). For example, navigation lights might share one 5A/10A fuse, while a pump or spotlight has its own.
The installation requires slightly more space than the 4-switch model, but it’s still standard – you need an elongated rectangular cutout. The included screws and terminals simplify the hookup. If you are replacing an old panel, the stainless steel upgrade refreshes the look and often covers the existing cutout neatly. The LED indicators on the switches are designed to not be blinding at night, yet remain visible in daylight.
Recommendations:
- For boats with many systems: This panel is an excellent solution for larger yachts where multiple subsystems need to be managed by the captain. Six switches give you the freedom to segregate functions logically – for instance, by importance or location (deck lights separate from cabin lights, port/starboard nav lights on separate switches, etc.).
- Outdoor Installation: Thanks to its high resilience, the panel can be installed in an exposed or semi-exposed location. Its weatherproofing protects it from damage in heavy rain or strong waves. Still, if mounted in direct exposure to water, it’s advised to periodically check the seals and tighten mounting screws to ensure continued watertight integrity.
- Upgrade for Existing Systems: If your boat currently has a combination of smaller panels or scattered switches, replacing them with this unified 6-switch module can greatly improve organization. Additionally, stainless steel is easy to clean and doesn’t show salt streaks – a quick rinse with fresh water and wipe-down is enough to keep it looking like new.
