Does anyone know how much power is available in the in dash power port? I want to use this port to power a transceiver.
The maximum draw when transmitting is 8.5 amps.

Thanks, Joe

FWIW: The outlet capacity is 20 amps according to the owner's manual.

Most of the plugs I have seen are rated at 10 amps, with only a few (described as "heavy duty") that are rated at 15 amps.

It is very possible that the heat that damaged the outlet came from the plug or the plug/outlet interface rather than the outlet itself.
