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:

• Weather Proof
  • Tested to meet performance requirements of UL Marine tests as certified by IMANNA Laboratory
• Pushes Straight in
  • NO MORE TWISTING REQUIRED
• Built in thermostat

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!
