This makes for easy installation. These switches can be mounted in numerous locations \u0026amp; positions. And as ignition protected switches, they can be installed in the engine rooms of gasoline powered boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to doing everything a battery disconnect switch does, battery selector switches permit battery selection (of two or more batteries) for specific purposes including starting engines, running accessories or even recharging. They allow for the use of one or more batteries in systems with one or more engines and facilitate putting batteries in parallel for emergency starting when one or both batteries are substantially discharged. Perko battery switches are designed for surface mounting. Standard duty switches have bright red polycarbonate reinforced housings for safety with large easy-to-turn black knobs. Selector switches are designed with a \"make before break\" feature. This allows switching between the \"1\", the \"ALL\" and the \"2\" positions while the engine is running. Versions of the 8511 Series switches offer additional features such as key lock security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour removable skirt panels allow for easy cable connection from different directions. High conductivity studs are long enough to handle more than 1 cable and strong enough for torque needed for secure connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Perko products, these time-proven switches are made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list_3\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher Rating Capacity than the 8500 Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires 1\/3rd less space to mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame bolt pattern as popular 8500 Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth, Positive 90° Rotary Position Selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour removable skirt panels for easy cable access and mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTechnical Information:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list_3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolycarbonate Body with Brass Terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgnition Protected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor use with 6 to 32 Volt Marine Electrical Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity - 315 AMPS Continuous, 450 AMPS 5 Mins.
