Whitecap Industries Teak Outlet Cover, 3-5/8 x 5-1/16 Inch Receptacle Plate
This Whitecap Industries outlet cover is a receptacle plate machined from 100% solid, premium grade teak, built for year-round use in both indoor and outdoor marine settings. Teak's natural oil content and tight grain make it inherently resistant to moisture, humidity, and temperature swings, so the cover holds its finish and dimensional stability whether it is mounted in a cockpit, on a flybridge, or belowdecks. The plate measures 3-5/8 inches wide by 5-1/16 inches high, sized to mount over a standard outlet receptacle opening.
As a receptacle plate rather than a switch or blank plate, this cover is intended specifically for use over an electrical outlet, keeping the surrounding teak trim consistent with the rest of the boat's woodwork while protecting the receptacle from spray and incidental contact. The natural teak finish is warm and grain-visible rather than painted or laminated, so it blends with existing teak trim, helm panels, and cabinetry. Installation is straightforward surface mounting to an existing outlet cutout.
