Boaters Guide to AC Electrical
Many seasoned boaters have an aversion to using AC Electrical around boats in marinas.
Water. Electricity. That’s a natural concern.
Marinco has been designing, building and supplying the best marine AC electrical products since 1972. Safety is always the first concern. And the best way to ensure safe shore power product usage is through training and education.
Marinco makes it easy to know how to use these products. They publish a great booklet entitled: “Boaters Guide to AC Electrical”, known around the marketplace as the “Shore Power Manual”. It’s the definitive resource when it comes to shore power. This guide drills out the mystery and concern, with straight-forward, easy-to-understand tips on AC Electrical.

Shore Power Basic
The mere idea of running AC electrical from shore, to a boat immersed in water, gets people’s attention. Marinco has been doing it better than anyone since 1972.
It all starts with an “inlet”. As the word suggests, we “let electricity in” via this portal. It’s a permanently mounted male electrical wiring device that allows for easy detachablity when the boat is underway. Add a powercord (which makes the run from boat to dock receptacle), and you have the basic system.
In Marinco’s case they’ve earned predominant market presence through superior design, service and performance. Marinco Stainless Steel inlets are the envy of the entire marine world. Two of the major differentiating benefits:
1) Cap Up Feature — When you’re making inlet to cord attachment, the unit “caps up” to allow for hands-free connection;
2) Easy Lock — The cord easily connects to the inlet with a bayonet style lockdown. And the cap locks down onto the inlet itself the same way.
The Marinco range of inlets are available at your favorite retailer. Check ‘em out on the web at www.marinco.com
