The Sealink 12V Receptacles by Marinco West Marine part number 343584 are very solid and very reliable. If you use both the male and female part you get a really nice connection. If you plug a regular cigarette lighter male into the Marinco female you will get a connection, but the real advantage come from using both the Marinco male and female together.
As you say, the standard lighter socket and plug are not reliable. They can't carry much current, they get hot, and they they release.
