Three Plug Tips

[1] Keep shore-power cables stored in a designated locker, away from moisture and cleaning supplies. If leaving at a dockside hanger, disconnect the plug and keep it facing down to prevent water intrusion. Dockside breakers should be turned off when not in use.

[2] Dockside power sources vary. Identify the power source(s) at your favored destinations, and buy the corresponding pigtail adapters to keep things running smoothly. A 30A locking receptacle is the norm at most U.S. marinas.

[3] Avoid tight coils; they generate heat. Likewise avoid pinching cable under a door or hatch. Make sure plugs and connectors are secured in their full, locked positions. Tug cords to verify.

having purchased a new boat with a genset i can personally vouch for the advise described above. i went through quite a few VERY EXPENSIVE fusses until i finally realized that when the manual says turn off all outlets before starting genset, that's exactelly what it means. now i turn off every switch i can find, whether it needs it or not, then start genset. no more problems. thanks for the reinforcement.
