Whitecap Premium Grade Teak Ground Fault Outlet Cover, 3-5/8 x 5-1/16 Inch Receptacle Plate (60171)

The Whitecap 60171 is a Ground Fault Outlet Cover crafted from 100% solid, premium grade teak, built to dress up the electrical fittings on a boat's interior or exterior without sacrificing durability in a marine environment. Teak is prized on boats for its natural resistance to moisture, humidity, and temperature swings, and Whitecap backs this cover for full year-round indoor or outdoor use. The plate measures 3-5/8 inches wide by 5-1/16 inches high and is sized to fit a standard GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) wall power station, replacing a plain plastic cover plate with a warm, finished wood look that matches teak trim, helm accents, and cabin woodwork elsewhere on the boat.

Installation is straightforward: the cover mounts in place with just two screws, making it a quick upgrade during a refit or a direct swap when an existing GFCI cover plate is cracked, faded, or mismatched. Because it is solid teak rather than a veneer or laminate, the cover can be sanded and re-oiled over time to keep its appearance fresh. It is part of Whitecap's broader family of matching teak electrical covers and plates, so it can be paired with companion teak switch, receptacle, and blank covers for a uniform look across a helm or galley panel. Note: this listing is for the Ground Fault (GFCI) Outlet Cover specifically; Whitecap also offers a standard (non-GFCI) outlet cover, switch cover, and blank cover plate in the same 3-5/8 inch by 5-1/16 inch size, each under its own part number.
