BAYWATT RESOLUTE II — Resettable Marine Push Button Switches

  • BAYWATT
  • 22mm / 7/8"
  • 3A–20A
  • 12V / 24V DC
  • Thermal Protection
  • IP68 Front
  • Automatic Blue / Green LED
  • Integrated Logic Chipset
  • Day / Night Mode

The BAYWATT RESOLUTE II 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 II 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.

RESOLUTE II combines a black anodized aluminium front, IP68 front protection and a 90cm pre-wired harness with an integrated LED logic chipset. In day mode, OFF is blue and ON is green. In night mode, OFF is unlit and ON remains green, reducing unnecessary dashboard illumination.

Highlights & Key Features

Switching and resettable thermal protection in one 22mm control. RESOLUTE II provides a clean solution for marine dashboards where circuit control, LED indication and overload protection would otherwise require several separate components.

  • 22mm marine push button format for compact dashboards
  • Integrated thermal overload protection
  • Latching ON/OFF and momentary ON versions
  • Ratings from 3A to 20A depending on function
  • 12V / 24V DC versions
  • IP68 front protection
  • Blue OFF / green ON LED indication
  • 90cm / 35.4in pre-wired cable
  • Standard black anodized aluminium front

Important: RESOLUTE II 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 II 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.

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 II 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 II Solution
  • Switch and thermal protection combined
  • Single 22mm mounting hole
  • Integrated LED status indication
  • Pre-wired 90cm harness
  • Cleaner OEM-style installation

How RESOLUTE II Thermal Overload Protection Works

RESOLUTE II 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.

Switch Rating Approx. Long-Time Current 1.5× Rating Approx. 2× Rating Reset
5A 6A 7.5A — disconnects in approx. 150–270 sec. 10A — approx. 5 sec. Automatic after cooling
10A 12A 15A — disconnects in approx. 150–270 sec. 20A — approx. 5 sec. Automatic after cooling
15A 18A 22.5A — disconnects in approx. 150–270 sec. 30A — approx. 5 sec. Automatic after cooling
20A 24A 30A — disconnects in approx. 150–270 sec. 34A — approx. 5 sec. Automatic after cooling

Choose the rating according to the protected circuit. The purpose of RESOLUTE II 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 II 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

Automatic Blue / Green LED Logic with an Integrated Chipset

RESOLUTE II is the true automatic two-colour version. An integrated electronic logic chipset manages the LED ring according to the switch state and the selected day/night mode. The colour changes automatically as you operate the switch; there is no need to reverse the LED wires to alternate between OFF and ON colours.

Built-In LED LogicThe chipset coordinates switch-state indication and day/night behaviour inside the button, adding an electronic control function to the resettable thermal switch.
True Night ModeWhen OFF, the LED is dark. When ON, the LED is green. Unused controls stay unlit, reducing unnecessary blue illumination at the helm.
Daytime IdentificationIn day mode, blue identifies OFF and green identifies ON, giving a clear visual indication of the selected circuit state.
Selected mode Switch OFF Switch ON
Day Blue LED Green LED
Night LED off — no blue illumination Green LED

The night mode removes standby blue light rather than simply dimming it. Active circuits retain green indication, helping reduce visual light pollution on a dark dashboard.

Why Choose RESOLUTE II?

The additional value is the integrated electronic LED logic chipset: automatic two-colour status indication and dedicated day/night behaviour, combined with the RESOLUTE II thermal protection function. The higher price reflects these additional control electronics and lighting functions, beyond the original RESOLUTE's polarity-selected fixed colour.


Pre-Wired for Cleaner Marine Electrical Installations

Every RESOLUTE II 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/control conductor
  • 22 AWG LED/control 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 II or DEFIANCE — Which Marine Push Button Should You Choose?

RESOLUTE II and DEFIANCE share the same modern 22mm marine push-button philosophy, but their protection systems serve different purposes.

Choose RESOLUTE II
  • 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 II 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.

Frequently Asked Question

Will the RESOLUTE II switch nuisance-trip on motor inrush (bilge pump, windlass, blower)?

RESOLUTE II uses a bimetallic thermal element, not an instant-threshold fuse. It trips on a time/current curve: a brief startup surge from a pump or blower is absorbed without tripping, while a sustained overload above rating trips within seconds to a couple of minutes depending on how far above the rated current the circuit runs. Choose the rating against the equipment's running current, not its momentary inrush spike — the thermal curve already tolerates the spike.

How do I size the switch RESOLUTE II against cable length and voltage drop, not just amps?

Pick the breaker rating to protect the cable, then size the cable for the run length and an acceptable voltage drop — usually under 3% for a 12V/24V circuit. RESOLUTE II's own switch conductors are 14 AWG or 16 AWG depending on current rating, with a 90 cm (3 ft) pre-wired harness. If your run from panel to load exceeds that, upsize the extension cable one gauge rather than relying on the harness gauge alone — a correctly rated breaker won't compensate for an undersized run.

Do I still need a fuse block, or can the RESOLUTE II switch feed straight off a busbar?

No separate fuse block is needed — the thermal breaker inside each RESOLUTE II unit already protects its own circuit, so a busbar is sufficient upstream. The one thing to watch is cumulative busbar amperage: if the combined continuous load of all RESOLUTE II circuits on one busbar approaches or exceeds its rated capacity, split the panel across two busbars rather than loading one. This is a panel design decision, not a RESOLUTE II limitation

If it trips repeatedly, does the reset behavior or trip threshold change?

Resetting immediately after a trip, before the thermal element has fully cooled, will cause it to trip again faster and at a lower apparent load — this is normal thermal memory, not a fault. Repeated fast-cycling isn't a workaround for an undersized rating; if a circuit trips more than once under normal use, re-check the connected load, cable gauge and busbar wiring rather than continuing to reset it.

Does RESOLUTE II change LED colour automatically?

Yes. The integrated electronic logic chipset manages the LED according to switch state and the selected day/night mode. The colour changes automatically when operating the button, without reversing the LED wires. This is the true automatic two-colour version.

How do the day and night modes work?

Day mode: OFF = blue LED; ON = green LED. Night mode: OFF = LED off, with no blue illumination; ON = green LED. Night mode removes standby blue light rather than merely dimming it, reducing visual light pollution while retaining indication of active circuits.

Why is RESOLUTE II more expensive than RESOLUTE?

RESOLUTE II includes an electronic LED logic chipset inside the switch. This additional control electronics manages automatic two-colour status indication and true day/night operation, alongside the resettable thermal protection. The original RESOLUTE instead uses a fixed LED colour selected by wiring polarity.

Does the logic chipset replace thermal circuit protection?

No. The chipset controls LED indication and day/night behaviour. Circuit overload protection remains thermal; the LED logic is a separate function. Select the current rating and installation wiring for the connected equipment.
