Marinco Shore Power Straight Adapters

Marinco is the gold standard on shore power products. Works as advertised and durable

Great for traveling to marinas that don't have a 110 volt hook-up. I use this when taking the boat to different docks. It allows me to hook my boat up for recharging the batteries when a standard 110 volt hook-up is not available. The LED light on the side of unit shows me when power is available.

Use it to plug into my grooming trailer to the house when I'm home washing my own dogs or plug in the heater at night to keep pipes from freezing during winter.

I use it to charge my batteries on my bay boat when I’m at a marina. Most Latina’s mace 30 amp service so this works great with a standard 115 extension cords.

Great for connecting regular 110V cords to marine shore power that I wouldn't otherwise be able to use with my small boat.Update 11/26/14: Most of the places I stay at on my boat don't have electricity, so I didn't get a chance to use it until recently. When I tried to use it into a 30 amp twist lock socket, I had to bend the prongs inward and then force it hard into the socket, which then broke off some plastic from the socket. My neighbor had a pigtail adapter he was next to mine, so I tried using his in the same socket as mine and it fit perfectly. Seems like this Marinco adapter had the prongs too far apart. Unfortunately way to late to send it back, but would love to hear what others and the company have to say about this. I gave it a two instead of a one just because I was able to eventually get it to work, but with damage to the 30 amp socket.Update 6/2015--I got another 30 amp converter, and it and this one both worked on another marina, so I think as Trapper said, the marina I was at must have had 20 amp outlets instead of 30 amp. And I thought 30 amp was pretty universal for marinas--guess not.

Product was exactly as described and exactly what we needed to charge our boat at the marina.

Does not lock - slips out

If you need to adapt a locking 120V 30A receptacle to a accommodate a 15 or 20 piece of equipment with a standard wall plug, this one really is about the best out there. Now I'll admit there are cheaper alternatives, but when dealing with electrical equipment, I want something that's been genuinely UL listed. Marinco is a trusted brand in my opinion. This is part of their new EEL series. Unlike some of their other EEL connectors, there is no special locking weather seal so this really is just a branding thing. But the connections are tight and the build quality is solid. Bottom line, if you want something you can trust to be left unattended without worry of failure under normal usage, this is the adaptor for you.

A very useful item if you have a yacht and need to plug in a regular house plug into the shore power outlet

Works like it is supposed to for our needs ....

Great product with a great price.

It was what looking for

The female end gave me a bit of trouble a few days ago but otherwise it has worked as expected.
