I also answered another, much shorter, post with a plea for more
information which you have included in this post. Thanks for the info
as I am in the process of rewiring a 35 ft. power boat and wanted to
use relays for stitching with remote control switches and was having
trouble finding reasonably priced continuous duty contactors.



Make the control switches little mini-toggles, the ones with the little
bathandle in silver. Tell the customer you think those tiny switches will
handle all that current...(c; The look on their face is PRICELESS...

In a power boat, with the alternators running, the contactors' power drain
is of no consequence. In a sailboat without our monstrous 6V beasts on
Lionheart, their 1/2 to 1A drain might be more of an issue. The
convenience of remote control without running heavy long lines in confined
spaces is well worth the effort and subsequent small power usage...even
continuous duty.

It just isn't fair.
