Blue Sea 7493 360 Panel Rocker Switch – DPDT – ON-(ON)

Durable Marine Rocker Switch for Precision Control

The Blue Sea 7493 360 Panel Rocker Switch – DPDT – ON-(ON) is purpose-built for integration into Blue Sea’s innovative 360 Panel System. Featuring a Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT) configuration with momentary ON-(ON) action, this switch provides reliable, precise control for trim tabs, windlasses, dual battery banks, or lighting circuits. Its compact snap-in design and wire-lead terminals make installation fast and secure, while marine-grade construction ensures dependable operation even in harsh, high-moisture environments.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What does DPDT ON-(ON) mean?
It means Double Pole, Double Throw with momentary action—two circuits are controlled, and the switch returns to center when released.

Can it reverse polarity?
Yes, when wired for polarity reversal, this switch is commonly used for trim tabs, winches, or electric motors.

Is this limited to Blue Sea 360 panels?
No. While it’s designed for the 360 system, it can be retrofitted into other compatible marine panels with matching rocker dimensions.
