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.

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.

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.

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 |

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.
