Comments Off In April of 2009, the much anticipated SmartPlug 30 amp Boatside Shore Power Inlet and Connector hit the shelves! The first shipments of the new shore power product were to Fisheries Supply in Seattle,WA, US Distributing in Portland, OR, and Svendsen’s Marine Distributing in Oakland, CA. Thank you to all of them for their support! As I am sure you can imagine, after a solid year of planning, designing, and developing you can say that we were and still are very excited to announce that our first product is available! Since April we have developed more traction throughout the US and are continuing to increase our relationships worldwide. Just within the last week River Marine Supply in Florida and Harbor Marine in WA have joined the SmartPlug craze and you will soon be able to purchase from them directly.
Now, on to the plug!
The 30 Amp 125 Volt SmartPlug Retrofit Plug is easily adaptable to the boatside end of existing shore power cord. The SmartPlug Inlet simply installs into the standard 2½” inlet cutout on the boatside of a marine vessel. It offers a more reliable and safer option for shore power!
Product Features:
At the core of the patented SmartPlug concept is its signature intuitive shape and straight-in sleeve design, rendering the problems with blind connections and electrical shorts (due to tension and corrosion) a thing of the past. The triple weatherproof seals keep the internal electronics free from moisture, and the multi-point locking system provided by the side “paddle” clamps and locking cap make the plug virtually impervious to the most extreme of environments. These features combine to eliminate all of the major causes of overheating and burning found in the current standard today.
As of July, SmartPlugs 30 Amp Boatside Shore Power Inlet and 30 Amp Boatside Shore Power Connector are now sold separately. Contact your local dealer or buy online today!
Watch for more 30 amp products to hit the shelves at the end of this year. Products such as our 30 Amp Legacy Shore Power Cordset and our 30 Amp Legacy Shore Power Adapter along with our 50 amp line in spring 2010.
Finally a better option!
Why are we blogging? Our number one goal as a company and as individuals within the company is that we produce a quality product which helps to make the marine industry safer and as we are finding out much sooner than expected, safer for other industries too! More on that soon! Our CEO Ken Smith has been in the marine industry for 38 years and the last 8 years of that were rebuilding yachts that have been damaged due to fire, most which were originated from the current shore power system. How often are we reminded as boat owners to check our shore power system and in unfortunate but common cases do we find our shore power plugs melted or burnt? What if we could stop those issues all together? It’s time for a new option! Our blog is here as a resource for information on shore power safety and usage and on the SmartPlug itself. We want to be available to you for any questions or curiosity you may have.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Sandra. My goal for our blog is to pass on our extended knowledge and to keep you updated with all things SmartPlug. We have an amazing team here that comes with a diversity of talents ranging from our CEO representing many years in the marine industry to our designer who had a hand in designing Perlage System. Also representing us is an amazing in house web/graphic designer, an enthusiastic marketing and sales team, and our awesome research and development team. We all look forward to being in contact and would love to hear from you about your thoughts on the current shore power system. What do you like most about the current shore power option/what do you like least? Do you feel that the current shore power design is safe for use in a marine environment?
Our company is growing and growing fast! We are excited to be reaching out to you and looking forward to hearing from you. Stay tuned for future blogs where we plan to let you know about all of the fun successful stories thus far and to come! We have a lot of exciting news to share with you along with contests, surveys and promotions and even ways that you can win a FREE SmartPlug for your boat!!
Blog with you soon!
