Overview
The Blue Sea Systems 1044 is a 12V DC USB extension that brings a stereo or other onboard USB connection out to the helm or cockpit. It mounts in a 1-1/8 in. (29 mm) hole, uses a prewired 5 ft. (1.52 m) cable, and carries an IP45 rating with the cover closed.
On boats where the stereo sits inside the cabin, console, or electronics space, this gives you a practical access point at the dash instead of leaving a loose cable run exposed. The tethered cap helps keep dust and spray off the port when it is not in use.
Key features
- USB 2.0 extension for bringing a stereo or other onboard USB connection to the dash or cockpit
- Prewired 5 ft. (1.52 m) cable for routing from the stereo to the mounting location
- Fits a 1-1/8 in. (29 mm) mounting hole used on many dash and console panels
- Tethered protective cap helps keep dust and spray out of the port when not in use
- IP45 rating with the cover closed
Compatibility and fit
This is an extension point for an existing USB connection, so it suits installations where the stereo or connected device already has a compatible USB port behind the panel. The 5 ft. cable works for many helm, console, and cabin layouts, but it is still worth checking the routing path before drilling the cutout.
The round dash-mount format works well where you want a fixed USB access point at the helm without leaving the source unit exposed. In more open mounting locations, keeping the cap closed between uses helps the port stay protected from normal cockpit spray and dust.
Use on board
This fits boats that keep the head unit protected inside the console or cabin and still want phone or tablet access from the cockpit. It makes sense on runabouts, center consoles, and cruising boats where music control happens at the helm.
