Where Can I get one?

[emandvee44]

I thought this would be a good idea to install for charging all the phones, cameras etc., but I am having trouble finding a UK supplier. Has anyone purchased one?

Aquafax have never let me down with deliveries of blue sea stuff, Berker also make one (available from Fernaux Ridall) and I have fitted a few including to my own boat, what can I say about it other than it charges stuff via a USB, Oh, easy to fit.

Thanks for your help.
It is the Blue Sea one which I want - I have several other Blue Sea items installed and they are excellent.
The Ebay link shows a price of £29.99, whereas the PBO quoted price is £9.90 - we shall see!

Cheers,

Michael.

Well I guess you can guarantee there's one price it won't be then, £9.90, even the septic discount stores are around £20

Hardly alternatives to the Blue Sea Systems stuff though I can see the attraction for some, # 1 requires installation or presence of a cigarette lighter socket to function as does # 3, best suited to car use. # 2 is not 12v input but simply a chassis mount USB socket which requires USB in and not suitable at all.

About £30 is the going rate. PBO printed an apology this month.

Thanks for the update.
I like the Blue Sea equipment, and have just installed an extra bus bar (to take all the additional electrical gizmos I have been installing), as the switchboard is in piggy-back overload. The Blue Sea catalogue can be downloaded, although it is a lot of Mbs for our little computers, so I put it on a disc. very useful.
Pity about the price, but I guessed it was a mistake. I will be ordering one soon.

Cheers,

Michael.

Skipper_Stu shows how to achieve the same only cheaper in the March PBO. Using a 12v cigar socket and a flush fitting dual USB converter from Maplins. http://www.maplin.co.uk/universal-in-car-mini-dc-to-twin-usb-adaptor-591369
