Listers, Just wanted to pass along my success in installing a SmartPlug shore power system on to the Enterprise.
As some of you may know, the shore power system that exists on most of our boats is not the best of technology (70 years old) and has been the cause of many a boat fire due to excessive heat and short circuiting. See: http://threesheetsnw.com/files/2014/03/PowerCord.jpg <http://threesheetsnw.com/files/2014/03/PowerCord.jpg> After hearing a few horror stories, I heard about the SmartPlug system: http://smartplug.com <http://smartplug.com/> The basic combo kit comes with everything you need to change your boat’s inlet and change the connector on your existing cable. The cable installation was an easy one. The boat end, however, given the placement of the existing inlet and its proximity to the deck, required some new holes to be drilled, but certainly an easy enough job with a drill and hole saw, and well worth the added layer of safety. If you ever use shore power, I can’t recommend this upgrade enough. All the best, Edd Edd M.
