For your fibreglass boat nothing better than the old hella plugs. You can get cheaper plastics.

Re: Accessory port 12v
Had some success did the ring around road tech marine had stock although I found out they're not used much anymore since the Anderson plug took over, so I updated and went for a cig socket and twin USB socket should replace the original two pin plug holes as a neat fit, finally now I can go look for a handheld spottie for them night the ips

Re: Accessory port 12v
I've found that the ciggie sockets don't last long before they corrode and you end up with a dodgy/hot connection. Especially if running something that pulls a few amps, eg. Fridge, spotty, etc.
I've converted my fridge fittings to the ones you were chasing for that very reason. Also can't get accidentally knocked out without you realizing. Just make sure you get the 20 amp fittings, not the 3 amp if running a fridge etc.

Remove the outercasing and screws change over to50amp anderson plug connection. You can buy a piggy tail adaptor with anderson on one end and a standard 12 volt. Gives you option for low draw cureent appliances fan, chargers etc or anderson to Anderson for higher draw current appliances etc engels
Good luck

Re: Accessory port 12v
Stick with the 2 pin Hella sockets and change the plug on your spotty/fridge or whatever. Or if you run an engel change one to an engel socket. Much better than ciggy socket and less rooting around than fitting Anderson plugs. IMO
