We refer to that as the yellow spring line. From: Michael Brown via CnC-List Sent: Friday, February 10, 2017 12:48 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Michael Brown Subject: Re: Stus-List marinco/shorepower inlet
> I also screw the locking collar tight to ensure a tight connection. I watched a boat leave the dock with the power still connected. I am impressed at how well that locking collar worked. It was the metal one into the metal version of the inlet. Once they got some slack it even undid and they could toss the line back to someone on shore. Michael Brown Windburn C&C 30-1 From: "Dennis C." <capt...@gmail.com> I have seen and replaced several deteriorated updated Marino inlets. I like the Smart Plug. Appears to be a superior product. Would probably replace Touche's Marinco if it got flakey. Having said that, a few preventative steps can make your existing setup safer. I wrap my shore power cord around a winch before plugging it in. That prevents any side forces on the plug. I also screw the locking collar tight to ensure a tight connection. Look at your inlet configuration. If the cord is not supported and is hanging or otherwise placing side force on the inlet, devise a way to support it. Dennis C.
