25sc electrical outlets

[snydzy]

One of the projects on my list is relocating/adding some electrical outlets. This is one area on my tug that has come up woefully short. The boat has three receptacles available, one in the head (GFCI), and two in the cabin... one is below the dining table, GFCI, facing aft, outboard.... the other, below the drivers seat, facing forward, outboard. Unfortunately, both the latter locations are at best questionable as to placement, and seem to be more of an afterthought than a thoughtful position for convenience sake. I don't understand.... Ranger's R 27 has the galley receptacle located on the vertical wood chase that looks very convenient. I'm going to install one there. I'm not sure why Ranger tugs doesn't. The other location under the dinette is again a "why there ? " question... awkward, unreachable, and inconvenient.... I'm still debating where I will relocate. Any thoughts/solutions?

For what it's worth, our 2015 has a 4th outlet behind the microwave, accessed from inside the cave.

Same setup and aggravation on our 25SC. I also thought of installing one on the wood vertical wire chase and it could be fed off the one below the drivers seat. I would remove the wood chase first and determine how much room is behind it. I had that off a few years ago and there is a wire harness behind it. Removal of the fridge would make easy access to the seat plug. If you tackle it post pics of the project..

While you are at it, look for the outlets that also have USB ports. With all our chargeable devices, extra charging ports come in handy. I replaced the one in the galley on my R-27 and I also installed a double 12V receptacle at the post by the table. Very handy locations.
