I needed to install two USB ports at the Helm. What I came across was a double USB with a digital voltage read out which I installed . It’s a nice feature knowing what the house battery’s are putting out at just a glance.
 
I'm doing something similar, but without the voltage display. Fits perfectly into my one remaining aux carling switch blanks.

And it will go just to the right of the grey switch on the far right side of the dash where I mount a phone and a tablet.

One thing to point out, the Amazon is very cool but would never keep my older model iPad charged. It is only 2.1 amps compared to the BlueSea which is 4.8 amps. Huge difference, thus the price difference as well.

A few weeks ago I came across a neat winterizing document.

Take a look at my documents in the link below.

EDIT: Sorry for the thread jack...... I think my comment was meant for another thread.

Oh believe me, my cash stash has been violated more than a few times because of this place.

Oh, you're here, Jason?

I had two cigarette lighter ports down below my steering wheel that were pointless, so I found a solution to cover the holes and provide much better value. I have the 1741 temp meter as well and will install it in my dash where a cig lighter socket currently resides.

Here's my $100 (whoops Blue Sea is money) setup which is awesome. Everything can be had here: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Mini-Voltmeter/dp/B0737LDS4L/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540492462&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+sea+voltmeter&th=1

Panel: ($20)

First (right) port is the 4.8A dual 1045: ($38)

Second (middle) port is this badazz voltmeter: ($40)

Old and busted 2 sockets (bottom left of steering wheel):
