I replaced my shore power cord with a smart plug a couple of years ago, very
happy with it! I wrote a (positive) review for it that appeared in Good Old
Boat a while back. Recommended!

Certainly worth an upgrade. Your insurance broker should be happy.

I’m probably going to replace mine — but not the cord itself
I switched to a Smart Plug, a few years ago. The inlet on my boat had
burned contacts, and I chose the Smart Plug for several reasons. The
contacts are larger, so they can carry more current. The retrofit was
easy. I didn't have to struggle with a "screw on" ring to lock the plug in
place.
I’m probably going to replace mine — but not the cord itself. I’ve heard a lot
of good things about SmartPlug connections and will probably just upgrade mine
to that.

Hi Y'all
A couple months ago I was reading about old shore power cords and their
resistance and how that can cause serious problems.. It turned out mine
looked like what Don Casey warns you about..
