The Blue Sea Systems 8061 is a 50A AC toggle source selector with two 7242 double-pole 50A breakers and a factory-installed mechanical lockout.
The lockout slide comes installed from the factory, so the interlock is not something that depends on being fitted correctly on the bench. That distinction matters. An interlock supplied loose gets left in the box more often than anyone admits, and the protection is worth nothing until it is in place.
Two 50A double-pole breakers do the selecting, so each source has real over-current protection rather than only a switch position. Fifty amps covers a larger shore service than the 30A selectors, suiting a boat with air conditioning or substantial AC loads.
Hot, neutral and safety ground buses are installed and the panel arrives fully pre-wired at 3.75 by 5.25 inches and 1.84 pounds. A red reverse polarity LED and a green 120V AC LED are fitted, label positions are backlit as standard, and the 8031 basic AC label set with 30 labels is included.
