⚡ At a Glance
- • Connection Compatibility: 15 Amp 125V straight blade dockside/male plug to 30 Amp 125V locking boatside/female connector
- • Best for: Boat owners and marina staff requiring crossover connections between inlet types
- • Not ideal for: Permanent installations or setups needing higher current capacity than 30 Amp
Connects a single dockside receptacle to a boatside inlet with differing configurations. Fully moulded construction supports safe use in wet locations.
Secure Locking Connection – with locking screw and locking 30A connector
A 15 Amp 125V straight blade includes a locking screw on the dock side while the boatside uses a 30 Amp 125V locking connector, creating a mechanically restrained connection. Locking mechanisms prevent the plug from working loose under vibration or movement.
Reduced risk of accidental disconnection when underway or at busy berths, maintaining continuous power to onboard systems.
Weather-Resistant Sealing – thanks to Marinco unique sealing collar and moulding
Fully moulded construction pairs with a Marinco sealing collar and dedicated covers, designed specifically for use in wet locations. Sealing components form a barrier around electrical contacts.
Keeps connections protected from spray and rain, lowering the chance of corrosion and short circuits in marina conditions.
Simple Operation and Monitoring – with LED power indicator and ergonomic grip
An LED power indicator gives immediate visual confirmation of live power while a contoured grip and thumbprint ground blade locator aid correct orientation and handling. Ergonomic shaping helps with one-handed or gloved use.
Faster, safer hookup at the dock and instant awareness of whether shore power is present before powering equipment.
