A socket (11) designed to be installed on the surface of a watercraft such as a sailboard or a stand-up paddle board can accept a number of alternate accessory mounting plug-in inserts such as an adapter mount (12) for a vent plug (9), a paddle strap mount (16), leash or universal joint ball mount (18), for example. The insert can be positioned in a number of discrete horizontally angular orientations byway of commensurate interlocking crenelations in the form of equidistantly angularly spaced apart splines (35) and keyways (36), and secured into the socket by a pair of locking screws engaging angled channels (27,28). A top flange (22), lateral gusset blades (25,29) and a resin dam (40) facilitate the insertion and gluing of the socket into the foam core of the board.
