• Main power switches should be mounted within 72 inches of the batteries
• The clever Auto Mainswitch, with integral fuseholder, is remotely operated from your Side-Power control panel. It provides a valuable safety feature allowing you to simply walk away from the controls with the knowledge that your entire thruster system will power down when the panel goes into auto-off mode. Fuses sold separately.
