Sea-Dog Dual USB Rocker Switch Style Power Socket

The Sea-Dog Dual USB Rocker Switch Style Power Socket is a marine-grade dual-port charging solution engineered for vessels where deck space and power availability are premium commodities. This weatherproof USB power socket delivers simultaneous charging to two devices from a single 13/16" × 1-7/16" rocker switch cutout, making it ideal for center console fishing boats, cabin cruisers, and offshore platforms where dedicated USB outlets are limited. With input voltage range of 12–24VDC and total output of 5V/4.8A intelligently split between both ports, the dual USB design eliminates the choice between charging your GPS chartplotter and your VHF radio handset—both stay powered during a fishing run or extended offshore passage.

The 5V/4.8A output capacity accommodates modern smartphone charging speeds for iPhone, iPad, and marine electronics that draw modest current. The IP65 environmental rating protects internal contacts against spray and moisture infiltration—critical in the salt-air corrosion environment where most recreational and commercial fishing vessels operate. Blue LED illumination signals charging status at a glance, useful during low-light predawn runs or overnight operations. A protective dust cap extends component life by sealing the socket when not in use, addressing one of the most common failure points in marine electrical applications where salt residue and mineral deposits accumulate rapidly.

This socket is purpose-built for weekend anglers upgrading aging center consoles and serious offshore operators managing multiple electronic devices during extended trips. Weekend fishermen benefit from the compact rocker switch form factor, which blends into existing helm layouts without requiring custom panel fabrication. Commercial operators and tournament competitors appreciate the dual-port capacity during long-haul passages where keeping electronics topped off directly impacts navigation safety and catch documentation. The load-balancing feature ensures stable voltage delivery even when both ports draw current simultaneously—preventing the brownout conditions that can corrupt GPS routes or disable digital fish finders mid-operation.
