You should read some of the Maine Sail’s comments on the bad shore power cords and plugs. He is on a crusade on that topic. But if you look at what he writes you would be too.
Apparently, there is a substantial difference in the connection area surface between the original and Smart Plug. Certainly worth an upgrade. Your insurance broker should be happy.

I’m probably going to replace mine — but not the cord itself. I’ve heard a lot of good things about SmartPlug connections and will probably just upgrade mine to that. http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1%7C328%7C2290035%7C2290039&id=1723147 All the best, Edd Edd M.

Using some West reward certificates / taking advantage of an early spring sale (That was back in march) I was able to get some inexpensive insurance / peace of mind. The EEL model was reasonable in price and the new design plug with integrated led light are nice to use. You might want to take a good look at yours. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
