This external USB socket makes it easy to add a charging point on your boat’s deck or other outdoor areas without complex installation. It comes with a dedicated surface-mount housing – you only need to drill a small hole for the cable and screw the casing onto the desired surface (deck, cockpit wall, console, etc.). There’s no need to fully recess the socket, which means installation is very straightforward and minimally invasive. The USB socket works with both 12-volt and 24-volt electrical systems, using an internal converter to provide a steady 5V output (up to 2.1 amps) for fast charging of phones, tablets, navigation devices, and other USB gadgets. Designed specifically for marine use, the unit features a robust plastic (nylon) build that withstands vibrations, shocks, and prolonged sun exposure without cracking or fading. The attached rubber cap seals the port tightly when not in use, ensuring the unit remains waterproof (rated IPX6) – a crucial feature when facing spray, rain, or seawater while underway. Once installed, the USB port is easily accessible – simply flip open the cap and plug in your device to charge. This deck-mount USB outlet is perfect for upgrading boats, yachts, campers, or even ATVs with an extra power point for electronics in places where standard factory sockets might be lacking.
- Use Case Examples: Mount in the cockpit to charge phones outdoors; on the flybridge or fishing deck where power for electronics is needed
- Versatility: Suitable for all types of outdoor vehicles – boats, ATVs, caravans – built to endure harsh weather conditions
- Installation Tips: Choose a flat surface near where devices will be used; use the included rubber gasket (if provided) for a watertight seal when mounting
- Safety: Always wire through an appropriate fuse (~5A) in your circuit; verify polarity (red/+ to positive) and insulate connections properly during installation
