Sea-Dog Power Socket with Battery Clips 426450-1, 12 Volt DC Accessory Adapter with 6 Foot Cord

The Sea-Dog Power Socket with Battery Clips (426450-1) lets boaters run 12VDC power accessories on small boats that were not built with an onboard power socket. Instead of a hardwired outlet, this adapter connects directly to the battery using a pair of color-coded spring clips, giving you a standard 12 volt socket anywhere a battery is accessible. It is a simple, portable solution for temporarily powering phone chargers, portable electronics, fish finders, or other 12VDC accessories on boats that lack built-in wiring for them.

The socket housing is molded from durable nylon while the internal contacts are stamped brass, a combination chosen for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical conductivity in a marine environment. A 6 foot lead gives enough reach to route the cord from the battery to a convenient location in the boat, and the battery clips themselves are color coded so the positive and negative connections are never mixed up. The unit is rated for 12 volt DC systems, matching the standard battery voltage used on most small boats.

This is a universal accessory rather than a vehicle-specific replacement part, so it is not tied to a particular boat make, model, or engine. Any small boat with a 12 volt battery and no existing power socket is a candidate for this adapter.
