No, you must use an underwater approved outlet at those locations. Same is true for toilets and jacuzzi's.

I'm not old--just very, very experienced.

Adam Obrien--can you tell us which type of plug you were referring to?

A "receptacle" is not a "plug"--it's what a "plug" goes into.

Webster:
plug n 1: STOPPER: (an obstructing mass) 2: a cake of tobacco 3: a poor worn-out horse 4: a lure with several hooks...

plug vb 1: to stop, make tight 2: HIT, SHOOT...

...now why would I assume it would be electrical???
