Recently here at SmartPlugs we thought an installation video might be a good idea if any of you out there had questions about how to make our system work on your boat.  Coming from an installer’s background (that’s what I did for 15 years before this) I was the obvious choice for the starring role.  During the video shoot I discovered something that really suprised me.  I had always thought that a molded cord-set would be impervious to corrosion…… but NO!!!  Take a look at the pictures posted below and tell me what you think.  It should be fairly obvious which picture was the old molded cordset (less then 2 years old) and which one we went out and purchased on the day of this video shoot.

Just another reminder how important tinned wire is in this harsh marine environment.  ABYC recommends the use of tinned wiring throughout the boat.  Here at SmartPlugs we are determined to use only high quality materials to surpass your expectations.  Our new molded shorepower cord coming out the first of next year will include tinned wire, giving you more than just a year or two of trouble-free operation.

Check your shorepower!!!
