Sherco-Auto Blue Sea 6006 M-Series Master Battery Switch for Marine Boats

The Sherco Automotive & Marine Supplies Part Number: BSEA-6006 Blue Sea 6006 M-Series Master Battery Switch is a single power cut on/off marine boat switch. It is designed to isolate the potentially destructive energy in the battery banks when the boat is not in use or during emergencies.

The switch features a single circuit ON-OFF design, with a red color and two switch positions. It does not have battery combine or alternator field disconnect capabilities. The maximum voltage rating is 48V DC.

The switch's stud size is 3/8", with a terminal stud torque specification of 120 in-lb (13.56 Nm). It has a continuous rating of 300A, which is the maximum current the switch is designed to conduct for an indefinite period.

For intermittent use, the switch has a 500A rating for a minimum of 5 minutes. Its cranking rating is 900A for 30 seconds, which is typically associated with the high current required by the starter circuit prior to engine starting.

The switch accepts a single battery input and is designed for 4/0 AWG (120mm²) cables, with a clearance of 1.12in (28.45 mm) for these cables. The mounting holes are sized to accept #10 screws.

The stud material is tinned copper, with the same 120 in-lb (13.56 Nm) torque specification as the terminal studs. The overall weight of the switch is 0.65lb (0.29 kg).

One key feature of the Blue Sea 6006 M-Series Master Battery Switch is that it is ignition protected, making it safe for installation aboard gasoline-powered boats. This ensures the switch's operation will not create a source of ignition, preventing potential hazards.

In terms of functionality, the switch is designed to isolate a single battery from a single load group. This allows the user to disconnect the battery when the boat is not in use, preventing the discharge of the battery and potential damage to the electrical system.

Overall, the Sherco Automotive & Marine Supplies Part Number: BSEA-6006 Blue Sea 6006 M-Series Master Battery Switch is a robust and versatile on/off switch suitable for marine applications. Its high-current ratings, ignition protection, and easy installation make it a reliable choice for boat owners looking to manage their electrical systems effectively.
