The SmartPlug Stainless Steel Shore Power Kit holds a 50A 125/250V stainless boat inlet and a matching cord-end connector.
Buying the inlet and connector together converts the whole boat side in one purchase while keeping a serviceable cordset, which is usually the most expensive part of a shore power installation. For a boat with an aging inlet but a good cable, that is the sensible order to do the work in.
SmartPlug increases the pin and clip contact area considerably over a twist connector, improving conductivity under heavy load and reducing the heat that builds at worn or high-resistance connections. The connector pushes straight into the keyed inlet with no twisting, which makes correct alignment easy even where the connection point cannot be seen.
Side clips form a multi-point lock that holds the connector body so cord movement does not stress the current-carrying pins, and several sealing surfaces give a watertight fit. The mounting flange matches common twist-style hole patterns, so many retrofits go in without cutting or reworking the panel. Explore more shore power kits.
