It mounts directly to a bulkhead, battery box, or engine room surface without requiring a panel cutout, and provides automatic overcurrent protection with a manual reset. At 80 amps it covers the gap between branch-circuit breakers and full main-bus protection — the right size for windlass feeds, large pump motors, and sub-panel mains on smaller vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface mount circuit breaker (automatic trip + manual reset)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80A DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface mount (bulkhead or flat surface)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e BSS-7142\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindlass or anchor winch main circuit protection on smaller vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBow thruster feeds on day boats and runabouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSub-panel or distribution bus main protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge DC pump or motor circuits (bilge, washdown, livewell)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine room installations where a panel-mount breaker is impractical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOther Surface Mount Circuit Breakers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed a different amperage in the same surface-mount format?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/west-370\"\u003eBlue Sea Systems Surface Mount Circuit Breaker 30A – BSS-7136\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blue-sea-systems-surface-mount-circuit-breaker-200a-bss-7149\"\u003eBlue Sea Systems Surface Mount Circuit Breaker 200A – BSS-7149\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e187 Series Surface Mount Breakers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for more amperage options in a surface-mount format?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blue-sea-systems-7142-187-series-dc-circuit-breaker-surface-mount-80-amps-661-7142\"\u003eBlue Sea Systems 187 Series Surface Mount 80A\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blue-sea-systems-7143-187-series-dc-circuit-breaker-surface-mount-90-amps-661-7143\"\u003eBlue Sea Systems 187 Series Surface Mount 90A\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blue-sea-systems-7144-187-series-dc-circuit-breaker-surface-mount-100-amps-661-7144\"\u003eBlue Sea Systems 187 Series Surface Mount 100A\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRocker \u0026amp; Toggle Circuit Breakers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer a panel-mount format?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blue-sea-systems-rocker-circuit-breaker-single-pole-50a-bss-7417\"\u003eBlue Sea Systems Rocker Circuit Breaker Single Pole 50A – BSS-7417\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blue-sea-systems-rocker-circuit-breaker-single-pole-100a-black-bss-7549\"\u003eBlue Sea Systems Rocker Circuit Breaker Single Pole 100A – BSS-7549\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest use case:\u003c\/strong\u003e The BSS-7142 is the mid-range workhorse of the surface mount breaker line. It’s most commonly used as a windlass or thruster main on smaller vessels, or as a sub-panel feed breaker where you need more than 30A but don’t need the full 200A of the BSS-7149. The surface-mount format is ideal for engine room and bilge installations where space is tight and a traditional panel-mount breaker isn’t practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your load exceeds 80A, step up to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/blue-sea-systems-surface-mount-circuit-breaker-200a-bss-7149\"\u003eBSS-7149 200A surface mount breaker\u003c\/a\u003e.
