Marinco Male Shore Power Inlet Plug 32A 230V / 50A 125V (3-Wire, IP56 Waterproof)

The Marinco 32A side-mount inlet is a heavy-duty shore power entry point for your boat, designed to safely connect your vessel to dockside electricity. It mounts flush on the boat’s hull or electrical panel and serves as a secure receptacle for shore power cables. Built with a rugged glass-reinforced polymer body, it withstands physical impacts, UV exposure, and the corrosive marine environment. The internal prongs are made of nickel-plated brass, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion for years of dependable service. Its waterproof construction (IP56) keeps internal components dry, which is crucial for safety and performance in marine conditions.

Key features and use cases:

• Ideal for medium-sized vessels: This inlet is well-suited for sailboats, cruising yachts, and powerboats with moderate power needs (up to ~7 kW). It can supply ample electricity for onboard systems like battery chargers, refrigeration, lighting, and navigation equipment while docked at a marina.
• International compatibility: Engineered to handle European 230V/50Hz at 32A as well as North American 125V/60Hz up to 50A, it offers versatility for boats traveling internationally. You can connect to different marina power standards without needing special adapters, making it convenient for global cruising.
• Protective cap included: The inlet comes with a yellow watertight PVC cover (Marinco #14.771.70) that securely seals the plug opening when no cord is connected. This keeps the contacts dry and clean, safeguarding them from salt, debris, and corrosion during periods of inactivity.
• Easy installation & maintenance: It fits standard shore power inlet cutouts and secures with screws; a rubber gasket is provided to create a waterproof seal against the boat’s surface. For best results, apply a marine-grade sealant around the flange during installation. The front cover and retaining ring can be easily removed for cleaning or inspection of the contacts. Tip: Always turn off the shore power source before connecting or disconnecting the cord for maximum safety.
