- marine trader 38 dc
my 86 marine trader has old style two prong 120 volt ac receptacles for 12 volts all over the boat. Was this common? they are mounted in shallow surface mounted boxes . and are mounted right beside 120 volt ac receptacles .
it has one cigarette lighter style at the lower helm that needs replacing .it has power to it but has poor contact .
1.what have you done for 12 v outlets?
2.what is a good brand of cigarette lighter style outlet? long lasting? good 360 degree contact.
3. the boxes appear to be too shallow for the depth of a cigarette lighter. what would be a good way to extend them with out looking awful?
4. are there any 12v receptacles that would fit the box and have the cover made in?
