Video Transcript for Bulldog Winch 12V Power Accessories - Power Socket - BDW20287 Review

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Bulldog Winch dual USB port system. This is going to be your main port system right here. The dual USB port power socket is going to provide you with the power you need for your automotive or marine application. It's going to provide a total of three mounting options. You're going to have a flush-mount design, which would be using this bracket right here. You're also going to have an under-dash mount, which would be this bracket right here.

Then you're going to have a dash-top tent bracket, which would be this bracket right here. All the brackets and all the necessary hardware to get it installed is included for each option. Here on the USB port itself it's got a nice watertight cap with the included tether. That's included to help keep out moisture and dirt. The brackets and the housing right here is made from a durable plastic construction that's very strong and durable and corrosion-resistant. When it comes to the power draw for this one right here, this is going to be port number two, the top one is, that's 5 volts at 1 amp. The bottom one, port two, is 5 volts and 2.1 amps.

It's got the blue LED indicator on there, as well. Now a few measurements that we want to go over with you real quick is if you're going to be doing a flush mount application, the diameter of the hole that you're going to need in order for this to fit is going to be 1-1/8 inch, at the least, and then no more than an inch and a half. The kit also comes with your wiring connectors. It just gets placed on the terminals here at the back and then provides the nice crimp design there for your positive and negative wire connections. The mounting screws are included. You're going to have a classic nut. I'll show you how to use that in a moment. This is going to be your flush-mounting option.

You would basically feed this through on the back side. You would thread this on. What that does is it just tightens up the actual housing of the USB port to the back side of the bracket so that way it doesn't fall back through. Then you would just use the two mount holes and the included hardware to get it secured. Again, this is going to be your flush-mount option.

There's a few measurements I want to go over with every option. This bracket right here, side-to-side we're looking at a 2-3/8 inch measurement. Height we are looking at 1-11/16 inch, and it's going to give us a 1/4 inch thickness. The mount holes are separated apart from one another on center by 1-7/8 inch. The under-dash would mount just like that. Again, this would go through and then you would place on the nut on the back to secure the two units together. Measuring this direction, that's going to give us a measurement of 2-3/8 inch. Depth, we are looking at 5/8 inch deep, and then how far it's going to hang down is going to be right around 2 inches. The mount holes on this bracket are also separated by 1-7/8 inch apart on center. Then when it comes to your dash mount, again this would just go through there. On the back side you would still need to place on that plastic nut to get everything tight and secure. Then your mount holes are located there on the top, so you would take your mounting hardware down through here and then you would have this easily accessible on the dash of your application. A few measurements with this, going this direction first we're looking at about 2-3/16 inch. Height measurement we're looking at right around 2 inches, and then the depth from front to back we're looking at about 3-1/8 inch. Mount holes on this option are separated on center by 1-9/16 inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the Bulldog Winch dual USB ports.
