The \u003cstrong\u003eBlue Sea Systems 360 Panel System\u003c\/strong\u003e is renowned for its versatility, and this 52mm gauge blank module provides a dedicated, professional-grade mounting solution for standard round instruments. Whether you are installing a battery monitor, voltmeter, tank level indicator, or engine gauge, this blank module integrates seamlessly into any 360 Panel frame to monitor critical onboard functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard plastic mounts that can flex, warp, or crack under vibration and extreme temperature fluctuations, this module is engineered for long-term structural integrity. It allows system builders and marine electricians to expand or customise their control panels without needing to fabricate custom metal faceplates from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEngineered for Harsh Marine and RV Environments\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the core of this mounting module is a heavy 1\/8-inch (approx. 3.2mm) 5052 alloy aluminium body. In marine and off-road applications, 5052 aluminium is highly regarded for its exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion and high fatigue strength. This substantial thickness prevents panel flex when securing gauges and ensures that heavy instruments remain firmly seated even when pounding through rough seas or traversing corrugated outback tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo complement the alloy body, the module includes a UV-stabilised thermoplastic bezel. Constant exposure to harsh Australian sunlight can quickly degrade inferior plastics, leading to chalking and brittleness. This specialised bezel resists solar degradation, maintaining a clean, uniform aesthetic across your console or cabin dashboard while concealing the mounting hardware for a neat finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard 52mm Cutout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-machined circular opening accommodates industry-standard 52mm (approx. 2-inch) diameter marine, automotive, and battery monitoring gauges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarine-Grade Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured from heavy 1\/8-inch (approx. 3.2mm) 5052 alloy aluminium for superior corrosion resistance and rigidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV-Stabilised Bezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Durable thermoplastic trim ring protects against sun damage and conceals mounting screws for a streamlined appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeamless 360 Panel Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modular footprint snaps and secures directly into Blue Sea Systems 360 Panel enclosures alongside switches, breakers, and socket modules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVibration Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid metal backing reduces the risk of gauge loosening or dashboard cracking in high-vibration environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVersatile Applications Across Custom Electrical Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe modular nature of the 360 Panel range means your electrical layout can evolve alongside your power requirements.
