Shore Power Safety


Just a heads up to all regarding shore power cords as this is usually ignored. Instead of me going on and on, this is about as explicative as it gets. Please read this entire article, well worth it, definately an eye opener. https://marinehowto.com/shore-power-cor ... g-vs-1938/

I am not trying to sell Smartplugs although I did convert mine as I do believe they are the way to go. The point of this post is to get everyone to check your cords on a regular annual basis and replace as required. Also look for issues at the pedestal connector and report it to the marina if you see anything. A quick look every time you connect/disconnect is easy however you need to know what you are looking for. Black marks anywhere around any connector is a sign of a major issue awaiting to happen and must be addressed immediately.

If you decide to go all out and replace your boat side connector with a Smartplug as opposed to a new common cord, here is the link. https://smartplug.com
