Location for power port?

I plan to install a power port on my Bayliner (19' open bow), to make it easier to plug the electric cord in when dockside. The most convenient location for the port is the top of the hull, near the rear seats/speakers. This location is just below the top deck and is slanted somewhat. It requires drilling a 1-7/8 hole in the hull, but the hole would be filled with the port and way above waterline. Is this something to be avoided? Is the slanted mount a concern re water accumulating in the port? There is a rubber cap for the port. It could also be located on a vertical wall inside the cockpit. Where do manufacturers locate power ports on similar size boats?  Thanks.

It sounds like you are looking to mount a 15A shore power inlet. 30A twist lock is more common for shore power. In either case I personally would not drill through the exerior of the boat for that. Mounting inside the cockpit would be preferable.
