BEP Contura Double Switch Mounting Bracket

The BEP Contura Double Switch Mounting Bracket (Part Number 1001702) is a modular electrical panel component engineered for marine vessels that require flexible switch configuration. This mounting bracket accommodates two middle sections and integrates seamlessly with rocker switches and Contura-series switches commonly found in modern marine electrical systems. Built on a modular design philosophy, the bracket allows installers to assemble switches in groups and combine it with complementary sections to customize control panel layouts for different vessel sizes and electrical demands.

The compact 3 x 2 x 5-inch form factor makes this bracket suitable for tight helm spaces where panel real estate is limited. At 0.1 pounds, the minimal weight prevents unnecessary load on cabin bulkheads or console installations. As a direct equivalent to Cole Hersee part number 82159-03, this BEP Marine bracket carries the same compatibility profile and dimensional standards, making it a verified interchange option for existing marine electrical installations. The modular construction enables users to pair the bracket with part numbers 1001701 or 1001703 to scale the switch configuration as vessel electrical systems evolve—a practical advantage for both retrofit applications and new builds where electrical architecture may need future expansion.

This bracket appeals to boat owners, marine electricians, and OEM integrators who prioritize standardized, modular switch infrastructure. Offshore fishing vessels, cruising sailboats, and commercial small craft frequently use BEP Marine electrical components because the modular approach reduces installation complexity and keeps spare parts inventory manageable. Whether managing engine ignition circuits, battery bank isolation, or auxiliary systems, the ability to build custom switch panels without requiring multiple proprietary brackets saves both money and installation time.

BEP Marine has established itself as a trusted OEM supplier to the recreational and commercial boating industry. Their electrical components—especially switch assemblies and mounting hardware—are known for corrosion resistance in salt-air environments and long service life under marine duty cycles. The Contura switch system represents a mid-range solution between basic single-function panels and fully integrated digital helm systems, making it the standard choice for vessels where maintainability and straightforward troubleshooting matter.
