COMBO KIT ENABLES EASY SHORE POWER CORD UPGRADES | shorepower cords

Image
  When the traditional twist-type shore power connection was invented in the 1930s, electricity consumption on a boat was much less than today. To help provide a safer and more reliable power solution aboard contemporary vessels, the 30A 125V SmartPlug Combo Kit enables an upgrade that overcomes the flaws of older connector and inlet designs. Each Combo Kit includes a shore power cord connector and a boat-side inlet. The unique SmartPlug pin and clip design provides over 27 times the metal-to-metal contact than twist-type plugs. The outlet material is made from 316 cast stainless steel, so it’s less prone to corrosion and damage. This combination of the inlet and connector provides less electrical resistance and has lower potential for arcing and overheating. The SmartPlug is the easiest-to-use shore power system on the market. Unlike a twist-type connector, there is no L blade to orientate. Weatherproof superior seals eliminate water penetration and a four-point locking system sec...

  If you’re a boat owner, it’s important to take the necessary precautions to keep your boat safe during a hurricane. Hurricanes can cause extensive damage, and if your boat isn’t properly secured, it could be swept away or damaged by the storm. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some tips on keeping your boat safe during a hurricane. A hurricane has been named and is headed right for you. And though you have days to over a week before it makes landfall, it’s always best to be prepared for the worst. How to keep your boat safe during a hurricane? We map out the steps to take below. If you have the option to take your boat out of the water, do it.  Smaller open boats and high-performance powerboats with low freeboard will typically be overcome by waves, spray, and rain, so it’s best to take them out of the water and have them stored on the trailer. Many marinas and yacht clubs will haul boats out of the water as a hurricane approaches, leaving only the bigger vessels to weather t...

Why Does SmartPlug Use 316 Stainless Steel?

Image
  Why is 316 Stainless Steel used on SmartPlug products and not the commonly used 304 Stainless Steel? It’s simple – it’s the best choice for our products and here’s why: It’s more heat resistant with the molybdenum element in the 316 Stainless Steel option, helping resist corrosion to chlorides such saltwater and de-icing salts. The components of 316 and 304 Stainless Steel Compared  – 304 contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel while 316 contains 16% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum. Because our products are used in the outdoors, they must be safeguarded from weather elements and unnecessary damage from corrosion, which in turn increases the product’s lifespan. SmartPlug Materials  – As detailed above, all external metals are Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel, the electrical pins are nickel-plated brass for maximum conductivity, and plastics are UV and heat-resistant Valox 553U resins. SmartPlug offers you power delivery that is safer, more secure, and easier to use t...

SMARTPLUG CORDSETS ARE EASIER & MORE EFFICIENT TO USE | Cordset

  When the twist-type connector was invented in 1938, production boats were made of wood and didn’t have power-hungry electrical components. In today’s vessels, utilizing state-of-the-art materials and technologies is the norm, including the revolutionary SmartPlug Dual Configuration Cordset. The unique SmartPlug design is safer, easier to use, and more efficient than traditional shore power connectors to handle heavy loads from air conditioners, appliances, electronics such as radar and night vision cameras, bilge pumps, and TVs. SmartPlug Dual Configuration Cordsets are available in 30A 125V and 50A 125V/250V. They have a sturdy pin and clip design that delivers over 27 times more metal-to-metal contact than standard twist-type connectors.

As boaters, we want to create as little disruption as possible to the natural marine habitat. Here are some of our tips on how to be a more environmentally friendly boater. Use non-toxic cleaning products As you boaters know, cleaning your boat regularly is important for proper maintenance.

These Eco-friendly cleaning products will leave your boat sparkling clean without the harsh effects on the surrounding waters.
