 Want to thank all the thoughtful folks that offered their ideas for our
outlet boxes. We will probably use the Wiremold plastic boxes and
possibly their plastic wiring channel in some cases. The boxes are very
simple, attractive, white or tan, and designed to be surface mounted.
They also have knockouts for the wiring channel if desired. In one
instance we may cover it with teak which will be easy because of its flat
sides with no protrusions. So thank you David & Debbie for the
suggestion!

  Wiremold company makes a number of low profile boxes that can either
  be covered with wood or left exposed. They make both metal and
  plastic boxes, some as low a profile as 1".  Their stuff is not
  cheap, but it may work in your application. Hopes this helps - here
  is a link to their website

  I have no ties or interest to them, other than having used their
  products over the years.  Good Cruising, David and Debbie SidburyNordhavn

We need to add several 120 VAC outlets to NiSa. Unfortunately the 
location of some will require the boxes to be surface mounted to a 
bulkhead - ie not protruding behind the bulkhead. We want to use UL 
listed boxes, but need wood or something enclosing them for aesthetics. 
We can bring the wire to the box with ready made teak wire trough. Is 
anyone aware of anything that would work here?

Thanks very much.
