Blue Sea 7248 C-Series Toggle Single Pole - 80A

The Blue Sea 7248 C-Series Toggle Single Pole 80A switch combines overcurrent protection and manual switching into a single compact marine-grade device. Built for applications where reliable circuit protection and switching must work together—inverters, bow thrusters, windlasses, and other high-amperage systems—this toggle switch eliminates the need for separate breakers and manual controls.

At 80 amperes, the C-Series 7248 handles the serious electrical loads typical of modern marine vessels without oversizing your circuit protection. The single-pole design routes current through one conductor, making it ideal for applications where a dedicated branch circuit serves a single high-draw load. Critically, this switch features "trip free" operation—once an overcurrent condition trips the breaker, you cannot manually hold the toggle closed to override it. This safety mechanism prevents dangerous sustained overcurrent and potential electrical fires, especially important in the isolated, confined spaces of a boat where damage escalates quickly.

Weekend anglers and serious offshore fishermen both benefit from this integrated approach. The white finish resists corrosion in salt-air environments when maintained, and the compact footprint (3 x 2 x 5 inches) fits standard marine electrical panels without requiring extensive rewiring. Blue Sea Systems, a trusted name in marine electrical safety, engineered this toggle to meet the demanding standards of both recreational and professional marine operations.

If you're upgrading a bow thruster circuit, installing a new inverter, or replacing a failed breaker in an existing windlass system, the 7248 eliminates the guesswork of matching breaker amperage to load. The trip-free mechanism ensures that protection remains active even under operator error or fatigue—a critical feature during long offshore runs when crew attention may be divided.
