Marine panel boards control the distribution of electricity to different devices and lights. They generally feature circuit breakers that can shut off power to different areas of your electrical system as required.

Take a look at our range of durable, easy to install marine panel boards.

Circuit breaker switch panels

A marine circuit breaker switch panel is a device that helps to distribute power more effectively on boats. It allows the operator to control the flow of electricity onboard by breaking the circuit when needed. This can help prevent damage to the boat's electrical system and components.

Various models are available, and they can be used to control different areas of your boat depending on its size and layout.

Bilge pump switch panels

A bilge pump is a device that is used to remove water from the bilge of a boat. The bilge is the area of the boat where water collects in the event of a leak.

Bilge pumps can be operated by electrical bilge pump switch panels which turn the pump on when the water level rises to a certain point in the bilge. The pump then removes the water from the bilge by pumping it out of the boat.

Bilge pumps are an important safety device on boats, as they help to prevent the boat from sinking if it takes on water. It is important to regularly check and maintain bilge pumps, as they can become clogged or damaged over time. Bilge pumps and bilge pump switch panels should be checked before each boating trip to ensure that they are in good working order.

Illuminated switch panels

Illuminated switch panels feature a similar design and layout to standard switch panels, with one key difference: as the name suggests, each button is illuminated.

An illuminated switch panel can be beneficial on a boat as it allows the user to see the switches in low-light conditions. While many boat owners know the location and function of each switch off by heart, an illuminated panel reduces the chance of pressing the wrong switch during bad weather, heavy storms or dark conditions.

Here are some of the main benefits of illuminated switch panels:

• They make it easy to find the right switch
• They add a stylish look to your boat's control panel depending on their design
• They're durable and weather resistant
• They're easy to install

FAQs about switch boards & distribution panels

• Can every light on my boat be controlled by a switch panel?

There are many types of lights that can be controlled by a marine panel board, including:

- Cabin lights
- Navigation lights
- Deck lights
- Mast lights
- Cockpit lights
- Engine room lights

These lights usually have their own dedicated switches, which allow the boat operator to turn them on or off as needed.

The marine panel board also includes circuit breakers for each light circuit, which can help prevent damage to the boat's electrical system in the event of a short circuit.

• What is a panel mounting frame?

A panel mounting frame is a frame that allows you to mount marine panels on your boat. They work by providing a secure, stable platform for the marine panel to be mounted on. This helps to prevent the panel from moving around or wobbling while in use.

• What should I do if my bilge pump is not working properly?

If your bilge pump isn’t working properly, take a look at our troubleshooting tips.

First, check the float switch to make sure that it is not stuck in the “on” position. If the switch is stuck, it will need to be replaced. Next, check the impeller to make sure that it is not clogged with debris. The impeller is the part of the pump that moves the water through the pump. If the impeller is clogged, it will need to be cleaned or replaced. Finally, check the electrical connections to make sure that they are all secure.

We stock a huge range of replacement bilge pump panels, perfect for keeping your pump in working order before your next journey. Not sure which type of switch panel to choose? Get in touch with our boating experts online and we’ll find the right type of switch for your bilge pump.
