So I’m looking to power the pi4 at the mount and seeing as I have 12v at pier I need a 5v 3 amp usb socket I think I have found one could someone more technically minded than me confirm this will do the job for me then I could use a usb lead with a C connector to power pi4

That looks good, I use a cigarette lighter plug with a USB 5v output. (same difference!!)

Yes Ron but it needs to be 3amp  to power a raspberry Pi4 I’m assuming this will do the job , I need to redo my power box  on the near future

I may have another Solution you can get a  dual usb male to c connector cable so can possibly achieve 3amps as battery bank has two USB ports , need to check my battery bank but I’m sure it’s 2.1amp x2
