Overview

The Attwood Marine 11862-6 is a 12-volt surface-mount power outlet for adding or replacing a DC accessory socket on a boat, RV, or camper. It gives you a straightforward way to bring 12V power to places where a flush-mounted outlet is not practical, such as a helm panel, console side, dash, or cabin bulkhead.

This outlet is built for wet marine environments and comes with a flip-down cap that helps keep the socket cleaner when it is not in use. The surface-mount layout also makes it a sensible option for retrofit work, especially when you want a clean installation without opening up a larger recessed cutout.

Key features

• 12-volt outlet for adding a new power point or replacing a worn socket
• Surface-mount design suited to consoles, dashes, cabin panels, and other accessible mounting areas
• Built for wet marine environments where spray and moisture are part of normal use
• Flip-down cap helps keep the outlet interior protected from dust and water splash when not in use
• Works well for boats, RVs, and campers that use 12V plug-in accessories
• Mounting accessories are included for installation

Compatibility and fit

This is a good match for 12V DC setups that need a practical accessory outlet near the helm, inside the cabin, or anywhere crew regularly plugs in portable electronics and other 12V accessories. Because it mounts on the surface, it can be easier to place in tighter areas where panel depth or access behind the mounting face is limited.

It also makes sense as a like-for-like replacement when an older outlet has become loose, corroded, or unreliable. Keeping the socket in an accessible spot where the cap can close fully will help it stay cleaner between uses.

Installation and setup

For boat refits, this outlet is easiest to use where you already have a nearby 12V feed and want to avoid a larger recessed installation. The surface-mount body keeps the job straightforward and works well on helm stations, side panels, and sheltered interior locations.

It suits owners who want an extra charging point for day boats, small cruisers, fishing boats, and utility craft, along with RV and camper installations that need one more 12V socket in a convenient location.
