Whitecap Teak Outlet Cover/Receptacle Plate

The Whitecap Teak Outlet Cover/Receptacle Plate (Part No. 60170) is a marine-grade electrical outlet cover designed for harsh saltwater environments and exposed deck installations. Built from teak wood with stainless steel hardware, this outlet cover protects electrical receptacles from corrosion, UV damage, and weather exposure commonly encountered in offshore, coastal, and maritime applications where salt spray and moisture present constant threats to standard electrical infrastructure.

Specifications include a height of 5-1/16 inches and width of 3-5/8 inches, accommodating standard duplex outlets while maintaining a low-profile footprint suitable for yacht rails, boat decking, and exposed marine electrical panels. Teak construction naturally resists rot, mildew, and weathering better than softwoods or synthetic alternatives, making it ideal for permanent outdoor installations. The receptacle plate mounts securely to existing outlet boxes and allows unobstructed access to electrical connections when the cover is in use or removed. At 0.15 pounds, the unit is lightweight enough for flush mounting without additional structural reinforcement.

This Whitecap outlet cover serves boat owners, maritime operations, dock facilities, and anyone maintaining electrical systems in corrosive saltwater climates. Unlike plastic or painted metal covers that degrade rapidly in ocean spray, teak-based solutions provide decades of service with minimal maintenance beyond occasional sealing. The cover addresses the critical need to protect expensive electrical components and prevent shock hazards in wet environments where moisture ingress into standard receptacles creates both safety and equipment reliability concerns.

Marine electrical standards prioritize materials rated for saltwater exposure and UV resistance. Whitecap specializes in teak-based marine hardware and has established itself as a preferred supplier for yacht builders, commercial fishing operations, and coastal construction projects. This outlet cover fits within the broader category of marine-grade electrical protection and complements other teak and stainless steel deck fixtures.
