$175 for the inlet and plug kit. I like the product and the theory behind it.
"Never too late to procrastinate" I installed a nice twistlock inlet 12 years ago into the cockpit wall, and then found I had to pay extra for shorepower, so it's never had power connected to it. Two years ago, I installed a 16000BTU air conditioner to survive global warming in Chesapeake Bay. I have a 120vAC breaker panel mounted to a piece of black starboard and the hole is cut into the teak bulkhead, but never got it installed. The SS hinge is ready. Gave away my power cord to a live-aboard after Hurricane Sandy took his. Instead I use a heavy duty extension cord made for working on the boat in winter on the hard, w four 120vAC receptacles on one end and a $9 Hubbel male twist plug on the other. When I am at the dock I connect and power the Air Conditioner and plug in the charger, a boom box radio, a power strip to charge the two VHF radios, the Garmin 640, cell phones, and my new toy, a JBL blue tooth speaker. I need to upgrade my power cord, install the AC panel and get the spaghetti of power cords off the floor. But recently I helped the marina owner troubleshoot an electric water heater for the showers and learned the whole marina, 25 slips, works from one 200amp service. There are three sportsfishermans with AC running, two 50 ft sailboats w two AC units each, and my little man-cave w AC and flat screen TV. Don't think I'll upgrade to Smart Plug this year.

I replaced my shore power cord with a smart plug a couple of years ago, very happy with it! I wrote a (positive) review for it that appeared in Good Old Boat a while back. Recommended!

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.

It turned out mine looked like what Don Casey warns you about.. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1687/26304650791_2c79e2dd60_b.jpg I'm glad I happened to read the article in Sail! 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.
