Telephone Jack to USB Conversion

[Midnightsun]

Those outdated telephone jacks can easily be converted by using one of these if you have decora style plugs on board that is. In my case it is a simple swap except I obviously need to supply the new unit with 12v dc. Thought this might interest others. https://www.amazon.com/Magnadyne-Black-Mount-Charging-12-16V/dp/B00ZOG6TBE/ref=lp_3034424011_1_1?srs=3034424011&ie=UTF8&qid=1535323490&sr=8-1

I did one that changed the "cig lighter (now called "power port") at the helm to USB power outlets for an iPad I use at the helm. I thought I was so smart until we whipped out the blower for inflatables and sure enough.... a cig lighter plug. I dman near passed out from having to blow those up! In hindsight it would have been smarter to get one of those plug in types, but no.... I had to do the more permanent thing and replace it.
