Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 1015 is a 12V DC plug and dash socket set for boats that need a more secure accessory connection than a loose standard outlet. It combines the 1010 plug and the 1011 dash socket, with a twist-lock connection that helps the plug stay seated in chop and vibration. The included plug has an ON LED and a built-in 10 Amp fuse, and the socket fits a 1 1/8 in (28.58 mm) cutout.

This setup makes sense at the helm, in the cabin, or anywhere you power portable 12V gear and want the connection to stay put. The plug uses a moisture-proof sealing ring around the shaft, and the socket has a watertight cap to help keep out spray when the outlet is not in use.

It is a good match for boats that run handheld electronics, spotlights, inflators, or other 12V accessories and need a plug-and-socket pair that holds better underway. Current-carrying parts use nickel-plated copper alloy, and the socket can be mounted from the front panel, rear panel, or on a surface.

Installation and setup

This set is built for 12V DC systems, so it fits boats already wired for a 12V accessory outlet. The 1 1/8 in cutout size is useful when you are adding a new socket at the dash or replacing an older outlet in the same area. The mounting options also help when there is limited access behind a panel.

Because the plug includes its own 10 Amp fuse, it suits accessory loads that stay within that limit. For marine installs, it works best where you want a removable power point but do not want the plug shaking loose every time the boat pounds into chop or wake.
