I added a 12VDC outlet to the port outboard lazarette. I then made up a cord with a universal end on it so that it could be used with more than one 12V device. I have an inflator that I use to inflate and maintain the pressure in the dinghy and a small electric bilge pump mounted in the lowest point in the dinghy to pump out water that accumulates. If you do a lot of cruising, I'm sure you know how much water can get into a dinghy after a continuous rain. I've actually had the dinghy nearly half full after two days of rain. This pump can be a lifesaver!
