Open this example in Crimp to use your own parts and cable lengths. Review the assumptions and installation notes as you adapt the circuit.
Cable sizing for this example
Use the diagram as a starting point for your installation. Replace the example equipment and cable lengths with your own, and check the connections against your exact model's instructions.
10 ft one way
12 V system
- Wire
- 13 AWG · 2.5 mm²
- Example fuse
- 7.5 A
- Design current
- 6 A
- Voltage drop
- 2.1%
Sized against ABYC E-11. The design current is the part's continuous draw. The length is one way; voltage drop includes an equal-length return.
Run-length and manufacturer assumptions
The editable example uses 3.048 m (10 ft) runs unless a shorter run is stated. Metric overviews round these to 3 m. Adapt the parts and lengths to your installation before choosing cable and protection.
Supporting parts
- 20 ft total of 13 AWG (2.5 mm²) marine cable
- Terminations for 13 AWG cable, matched to the equipment's screw terminals, leads or studs
- 7.5 A fuse and holder on the positive run
- Heat-shrink, strain relief and terminal boots sized to the cable
Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.

Which Flip Pro and how much power?
This entry is the Flip Pro Max SC-USB-F3 USB-C PD charger. The installation sheet, page 1, specifies 10–32 V input, 12/24 V nominal systems and 6 A maximum input. On a 12 V system its negotiated output reaches 36 W; the 60 W output requires a 24 V supply. A label advertising 60 W does not make that power available from every 12 V installation.
The catalog models only the DC input. USB Power Delivery negotiation, cable capability and the connected device determine the actual output; there is no fixed 60 W appliance load on the input terminals. Standby consumption is stated as less than 0.1 W.
How is the input protected and wired?
Connect the marked positive and negative input conductors to the appropriate DC supply and maintain polarity. The electrical instructions, page 2, require an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker but do not specify its ampere value. Select external protection with the actual conductor size, route and equipment demand in mind; the 6 A maximum input is not itself a prescribed fuse rating. Avoid excessive voltage drop, which can reduce charging performance even if the unit remains powered.
What does the mounting surface need?
Use the 32 mm cutout and a mounting thickness within 3–25 mm, as shown on page 1. Fit the gasket against a flat, suitable surface and seal the fixings as instructed. Check rear clearance before drilling so the supply cable is not crushed. The front is rated IPX4 when installed as specified; that does not make the entire assembly suitable for immersion.
What limits affect everyday use?
This charger is not ignition protected and must not be installed where that protection is required, such as a hazardous engine compartment. Close the cover when it is unused and keep the connector clean. If a device charges slowly, first confirm whether the supply is 12 V or 24 V, that the device and cable support the intended PD mode, and that voltage remains adequate at the charger. The manual describes temperature protection that can interrupt output until the unit cools. Do not defeat that protection or increase the supply fuse to address thermal shutdown.
