Especially on the water, I agree Johnny! There are never enough safeguards. To ensure many happy days on the water, this extra step and others like it will save time, money, lives. If something goes wrong, just turn the switch, and no more power. You don't have to trace wires and figure out what is wrong while something is sparking. Turn the switch, and your safe.

We all know a boating environment can be harsh on electronics. We also all hate ANY kind of problem on the water. I have backups to my bakups in my boat to try to prevent as many problems as possible. It might be a bit of a pain, but taking care of electricity responsibly can be vital not just to yoruself and passengers, but also to the expensive electrical goodies on board. Good luck either way. I suggest using the best stuff you can afford. The extra 20-40 dollars on a switch is well worth it.
