> 3 dayGlad I read mcfingrs review. The listing shows 1-3/4 diameter. The included instructions say to drill a 2 hole. NO! You need to drill a 1-7/8 diameter hole. I bought this on Amazon: Mollom Heavy Duty Carbide Hole Saw, Hole Cutter cuts Stainless Steel, mild Steel, Iron, Copper, Brass, Plastic ( 1-7/8 48mm ). Perfect. Cut through the aluminum side panel on my pontoon boat. Now I can charge the batteries without removing the seat cover, opening the hatch or leaving an electric cord laying on the deck. Its only been a couple of days so I cant speak to durability but so far a great purchase. I do think it should be mounted vertically to avoid any water seeping in. The only improvement might be if the manufacturer included a big plastic nut to screw onto the threaded body from the back.

> 3 dayThis was simple to install and the rubber seal works well both to seal against the wall and to keep water out when the plug is not in use.

> 3 dayWeather resistant, easy to install and, water resistance. Only recommendation I have is to include an about 2” nut to snug the adapter to the wall. That will help hold the adapter in place while aligning the 4 screws to hold and the nut will help long term weatherproofing.

Greater than one weekA few issues with this that make it mediocre at best. The hole size needed for install is 2, not the 1.75 the pictures and description in the listing seem to suggest. Even the instructions that came with the plug state a 2 hole is needed. Itd be nice if the listing was updated to not cause confusion. This plug is absolutely not waterproof. At best Id call it mildly water resistant. I installed this on a horizontal surface on a camper trailer so the receptacle is facing upwards. First issue is that the plastic base where the prongs are attached has a gap around the entire circumference of the receptacle that is very much open and allows water to pass through. Secondly, the cap that blocks the receptacle when not in use is not the tightest fit, so water can absolutely make its way in. While driving in wet conditions, a LOT of water made its way through the receptacle and into the battery compartment on my camper trailer. Definitely not a good place for water to be. I went to town with some silicone sealant and have a more water resistant receptacle now, but Im still not convinced it is going to be as tight as I need. So long story short, if you are planning to mount this horizontally or otherwise in a place that will see a fair amount of moisture, Id look for a different plug. If youre going for a vertical mount with little to no moisture around and definitely wont be using the receptacle during adverse weather, then its fine.

> 3 dayLoved the quality of this product. Unfortunately I had to upgrade to a 20amp outlet so I returned this product reluctantly. The 20amp outlet was far inferior to the 15amp rated RVGAURD unit. But since the replacement was rated for 20amps I went with it. But if I didnt know better I would/should have used the RVGAURD. Decisions, decisions!
