The BAYWATT RESOLUTE Series is a range of
22mm resettable marine push button switches with integrated thermal overload protection,
designed for boat dashboards, helm stations, center consoles, refit panels
and custom 12V or 24V DC electrical systems.
RESOLUTE combines the function of a
marine push button switch with a thermal protection element
inside one compact control. Instead of using a separate switch and
push-to-reset thermal breaker, the same 22mm unit can control the load,
indicate its operating status and disconnect the circuit during a sustained
overload condition.
Standard versions feature a black anodized aluminium front,
IP68 front protection, a
90cm / 35.4in pre-wired harness and a
blue / green LED ring:
blue indicates OFF and green indicates ON.
Highlights & Key Features
Switching and resettable thermal protection in one 22mm control.
RESOLUTE provides a clean solution for marine dashboards where circuit
control, LED indication and overload protection would otherwise require
several separate components.

Important: RESOLUTE uses thermal overload protection.
Trip time therefore depends on the amount of overload and the thermal
condition of the switch. Select the amperage according to the
connected equipment and cable size — never increase the rating simply
to prevent the switch from tripping.
22mm Marine Push Button with Integrated Thermal Protection
Integrated Circuit Protection
RESOLUTE monitors the current flowing through the controlled circuit.
During a sustained overload, its thermal mechanism disconnects the load
according to the switch rating and overload level.
Automatic Thermal Reset
Once the overload is removed and the internal thermal element cools,
the protection mechanism returns to normal operating condition without
requiring replacement of a fuse.
Compact 22mm Installation
Switching, LED status and thermal protection are integrated into one
compact control, helping reduce the number of components required on
a marine electrical panel.
Clear LED Status
The illuminated blue / green ring gives immediate visual confirmation
of the circuit status on boat dashboards and helm panels.

marine electrical functions.
A Modern Alternative to Separate Marine Switches and Thermal Breakers
Traditional boat electrical panels often use one switch to control
the equipment and a separate
push-to-reset marine circuit breaker to protect the circuit.
This works, but requires additional panel space, wiring and components.
RESOLUTE combines these functions into one compact
22mm marine push button.
The result is a cleaner dashboard with fewer visible components,
while maintaining resettable thermal overload protection.
Traditional Panel
- Separate ON/OFF switch
- Separate thermal circuit breaker
- Multiple mounting holes
- Additional panel wiring
- More dashboard space required
RESOLUTE Solution
- Switch and thermal protection combined
- Single 22mm mounting hole
- Integrated LED status indication
- Pre-wired 90cm harness
- Cleaner OEM-style installation
How RESOLUTE Thermal Overload Protection Works
RESOLUTE uses a thermal protection mechanism rather than electronic
current limiting. As current rises above the selected switch rating,
heat builds inside the protection element.
A moderate overload can therefore be tolerated for a limited period,
while a much larger overload causes the circuit to disconnect much faster.
Once the excessive current is removed and the thermal element cools,
the switch can return to normal operation.

Choose the rating according to the protected circuit.
The purpose of RESOLUTE is to disconnect the connected circuit during
an excessive current condition. The selected amperage must therefore
remain compatible with both the equipment and the installed cable.
Designed for Marine Dashboards, Helm Panels and Boat Refit Projects
RESOLUTE is particularly suited to compact
marine switch panels where electrical protection,
straightforward operation and clean dashboard design are equally important.
Boat Panels & Helm Controls
- Center-console switch panels
- Yacht and sailboat helm stations
- Custom marine electrical panels
- Boat dashboard refits
- Replacement of older breaker panels
- 12V and 24V accessory panels
Typical Protected Circuits
- Cabin, cockpit and deck lighting
- Navigation lights
- Bilge pump manual control
- Washdown and freshwater pumps
- Ventilation and blower fans
- Horn and auxiliary equipment
- Marine electronics feeds
Blue / Green LED Status Indication
RESOLUTE uses an illuminated LED ring to provide immediate visual
confirmation of switch status without requiring a separate indicator lamp.
Blue — OFF
Blue illumination identifies a circuit that is currently switched off,
making the control easy to locate on a dark dashboard.
Green — ON
Green illumination confirms that the circuit is active and the connected
equipment has been switched on.
Pre-Wired for Cleaner Marine Electrical Installations
Every RESOLUTE switch is supplied with a
90cm / 35.4in pre-wired harness, making it easier to
route the wiring behind helm stations, center consoles and compact
custom boat dashboards.
Typical conductor configuration:
-
14 AWG main switch conductor
-
16 AWG thermal / switch conductor
-
22 AWG LED positive conductor
-
22 AWG LED negative conductor
For larger custom panels, multiple circuits can be arranged through a
dedicated
marine bus bar
to simplify DC distribution and keep the wiring organised and accessible.
RESOLUTE or DEFIANCE — Which Marine Push Button Should You Choose?
RESOLUTE and DEFIANCE share the same modern 22mm marine push-button
philosophy, but their protection systems serve different purposes.
Choose RESOLUTE
- Integrated thermal overload protection
- Protection acts on the controlled circuit
- Automatic reset after cooling
- 3A to 20A ratings
- 12V / 24V DC versions
- Ideal replacement for traditional thermal breaker layouts
Choose DEFIANCE
- 316 stainless steel front as standard
- Solid-state electronic switching
- Up to 20A at 12V DC
- Dual and tri-color LED functions
- Two-channel and Nav/Anchor versions available
- Internal overload self-protection for the switch electronics
Need SS316 and electronic overload self-protection instead?
Consider the
BAYWATT DEFIANCE solid-state marine push button series
.
DEFIANCE protects its own solid-state switching electronics during
overload conditions, whereas RESOLUTE uses thermal protection to
disconnect the controlled circuit. DEFIANCE therefore does not replace
the fuse or circuit breaker required to protect the connected wiring
and equipment.
