12v Auxiliary Power Outlet

We have a West Marine store close by.  I went there a few years ago looking for water proof 12v power outlet.  I found this one.


The outer rectangular base can come off from the unit.  So I installed in my left pocket.

To get to that result, here is what I did.



Took out the pocket. Masked it and located the center of the plug hole.  I pre-drilled a small hole there, like 1/8 inch.  Then used my 1 1/8 inch drill bit.


Then secure the outlet.


I wanted to make sure that LONG plug of my GPS would fit in there.


Looks good. Now I wire it to the panel I created the other day.


Put the pocket back in the fairing and DONE!
