Marinco 16A Dockside Plug (Male) 230V – 90° Shore Power Connector

This Marinco 16A male dockside plug is designed to connect your shore power cable to the power source at the dock. It’s essentially the opposite end of the cable from the female boat connector. What sets this plug apart is its side-entry (right-angle) design: the cable attaches at a 90° angle to the plug, allowing the cord to hang downward or run along the pedestal more neatly, reducing strain on the connection. The male plug has the standard 3-prong configuration (European 230V 16A style) and will fit into a matching 16A marina power outlet or adapter.

Built for the marine environment, this plug features a robust thermoplastic body and nickel-plated brass blades/pins, ensuring it can handle exposure to moisture and frequent use. A threaded locking ring or secure interface keeps it firmly connected to the socket, providing an IP56 level of waterproof protection when fully engaged. When not connected, you can cover the prongs with the provided cap to keep them dry and corrosion-free. This dockside male connector is an essential component if you are assembling a complete Marinco 16A shore power cord or need to replace a worn plug on the dock end of your cable.

Use Cases and Recommendations :

• Use this male plug to connect your boat’s shore power cable into the marina’s 16A electrical outlet. It’s commonly used for the shore-side end of a custom power cord.
• The 90-degree angled design is especially useful in tight spaces or where a straight plug would stick out – it allows the cable to drop down smoothly from the outlet, preventing kinks and reducing trip hazards on the dock.
• Ideal for small to medium boats that use standard European 16A shore power connections; it ensures you have the proper plug to draw power from marina pedestals.
• If you have a cordset with an older or damaged dock-end plug, this Marinco connector can replace it, improving safety and reliability. Its marine-grade construction stands up to UV exposure and salt better than generic plugs.
• A protective cap is included to shield the plug when not in use – important for keeping the contacts clean when the cable is stored or when traveling between ports.
