Sea-Dog 426142-1 Polarized Electrical Outlet, Complete, Cast Brass/Chrome Plated, 3 Amp 12/24V Deck Outlet

The Sea-Dog 426142-1 Polarized Electrical Outlet is a complete 2-conductor deck cable outlet built for boats and other marine applications that need a secure, weather-resistant onboard power connection. The outlet's pins are sized differently so the mating plug can only be connected one way, preventing reverse polarity and the electrical issues that can cause. It is constructed of cast brass with a chrome plated finish for corrosion resistance and a polished appearance on deck, and it includes a rubber gasket along with a water resistant cap to keep moisture out of the connection when it is not in use.

This complete unit is rated for 3 Amps at 12/24VDC and accepts wire up to 14 Gauge, which attaches to the terminals with brass set screws for a solid, vibration-resistant connection. Installation is straightforward: the outlet mounts through the deck or panel using two #6 round head fasteners (sold separately) and is sized at 1-7/16 inches by 1-3/8 inches. Sea-Dog also offers the deck outlet and cap alone, the mating plug alone, and a replacement cap separately, so this outlet works well whether you are wiring a new accessory circuit or replacing a worn or damaged component in an existing setup.
