Marinco Shore Power Adaptors

Marinco Shore Power Adaptors: Reliable Connections at Every Dock

Marinco has been the gold standard in marine shore power since 1972, when founder Bud Toly set out to bring affordable, high-performance power connections to boaters. Nowhere is that expertise more apparent than in their Shore Power Adaptors lineup — a carefully engineered range of products designed to solve one of the most common frustrations on the water: incompatible dock and vessel connections.

Why Shore Power Adaptors Matter

Marina pedestals and boat-side inlets don't always speak the same language. Amperage ratings, pin configurations, and voltage specs can vary widely from one marina to the next — especially when traveling. These adaptors bridge the gap between incompatible shore power configurations, so you have the correct connection to power your boat. Carrying the right Marinco adaptor in your dock bag means you're never left without power at an unfamiliar slip.

Marinco's Shore Power Adaptor Lineup

Marinco offers several distinct adaptor types, each engineered for a specific use case:

• Pigtail Adaptors: These adaptors are equipped with a unique sealing collar system and covers recommended for use in wet locations. This unique sealing collar system joins the adaptor to the cordset with a positive, mechanical connection and provides maximum moisture protection.
• Straight Adaptors: Similar to the pigtail adaptor but without a sealed enclosure, and best suited for dry locations.
• Y-Adaptors: Featuring straight adaptors for dry locations, pigtail adaptors for wet environments, and "Y" adaptors for dual connections, Marinco's 50 Amp adaptors give boaters flexible dockside options.

Built to Marine Standards

Marinco uses nickel-plated brass contacts to resist corrosion , a critical consideration in the salt-air and high-moisture conditions typical of marinas. Shaped by the rigors of life on the water, Marinco marine solutions promise dependable power connections, and their products benefit from unparalleled boating expertise and a commitment to cutting-edge technology.

Select pigtail adaptor models feature a power indicator light, contoured grip, and a thumbprint ground blade locator, and come backed by a 5-year warranty. These design touches reflect Marinco's attention to real-world usability — making connections faster and safer, especially at night or in cramped dock boxes.

Matching the Right Adaptor to Your Setup

You need a marine shore power adaptor that matches the dockside outlet amperage, boat-side inlet amperage, system voltage (typically 120V or 120/240V), and specific pin configuration. Marinco's adaptor range covers the most common North American configurations, including 15A, 30A, and 50A combinations, so whether you're pulling into a small harbor with limited service or a full-service marina with 50A pedestals, there's a Marinco solution to keep you connected.
