What Is a Power Distribution Panel (and Why It Matters in Boats and Specialty Vehicles)
Friday, January 16, 2026
A power distribution panel serves as the centralized control hub that receives electrical power and distributes it to multiple loads through protected circuits in marine and specialty vehicle environments. By using breakers and fuses, these panels provide essential circuit protection to mitigate the risk of equipment damage or fire from overloads or shorts. Purpose-built distribution panels bring order to complex electrical systems through standardized builds, clear labeling, and robust documentation, which significantly simplifies troubleshooting and field service. Integrating an engineered panel allows OEMs and upfitters to deliver consistent, high-quality builds that ensure long-term reliability and safety for mission-critical applications.
