Blue Sea 1038 48V Dual USB Charger Contura Switch Mount

The Blue Sea 1038 48V Dual USB Charger Contura Switch Mount is a compact, intelligent charging solution designed for marine vessels and 48V electrical systems. This hardwired charger mounts directly into a standard Contura switch opening, providing dual USB output to simultaneously charge smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices at the speed each device requires. Unlike generic chargers, the 1038 uses intelligent device recognition to optimize charge rate, delivering the correct amperage whether you're charging a power-hungry tablet or a standard smartphone. For boaters managing multiple crew members or family members on extended trips, this eliminates the need for separate charging solutions or power adapters cluttering the helm or cabin.

The 1038 is engineered to withstand marine environments. Its spring-hinged lid keeps salt spray, moisture, and debris out of the USB ports—a critical feature for vessels operating in coastal or offshore conditions where corrosion and salt air accelerate failure of exposed electronics. Internal filtering reduces electronic interference from the 48V system, while over-temperature protection prevents damage from extended charging cycles in warm cabins or during summer operation. The conformal coating on internal circuitry provides additional corrosion resistance, extending service life in humid marine air. At just 2 × 2 × 6 inches and 0.5 lbs, the unit fits seamlessly into a standard Contura switch panel without requiring additional modifications or bracket fabrication.

This charger is ideal for golf carts, RVs, marine vessels, and any 48V DC system where crew or occupants need reliable device charging. Weekend anglers appreciate the convenience of keeping phones charged for navigation and communication, while serious offshore operators depend on it to keep crew devices powered during extended fishing trips or cruises. The Contura switch format integrates cleanly into modern boat panels, eliminating the need for surface-mounted USB hubs that create clutter and require additional wiring.
