Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 1014 is a mounting bracket for the 1011 12V socket when you need to place the outlet below a panel, bulkhead, or other mounting surface. It supports front panel, rear panel, or surface-mount installation, and it keeps the socket positioned for the twist-lock plug connection used in this Blue Sea setup.

This bracket is useful when a dash-style outlet needs to be added at the helm, in the cabin, or anywhere a flush socket cutout is not the best fit. It is built for wet locations and constant vibration, weighs about 0.07 lb, and is sold without the socket itself.

Key features

• Made to fit the Blue Sea Systems 1011 12V socket
• Can be installed as a front panel, rear panel, or surface-mount bracket
• Lets the socket sit below the mounting surface when a flush install is not practical
• Built for wet environments and the vibration that is common on boats
• Works with the twist-lock plug and socket arrangement used in this 12V outlet system
• Light bracket weight at about 0.07 lb, which helps on thinner panels and consoles

Installation and setup

The 1014 is a straightforward way to mount a 1011 socket where access behind the panel is limited or where you want the outlet suspended below the mounting surface. That can be helpful on helm pods, side consoles, under-dash panels, and cabin joinery where a clean outlet location matters but space is tight.

Because this is only the bracket, it should be matched with the correct Blue Sea Systems 1011 socket before planning the install. That makes it a better fit for replacement work or for a new 12V outlet location that uses the same socket style elsewhere on board.

Compatibility and fit

This bracket is intended for the Blue Sea Systems 1011 12V socket rather than as a universal outlet mount. It is a sensible choice for boats that need a secure 12V accessory point for portable lighting, handheld electronics, or other plug-in gear in areas that see spray, motion, and regular use.
