I need a marine power cord.

[av8erdunn]

I don't have shore power yet on my 260 but my marina requires me to use a marine cable for power to my boat. They have the screw in type connection at the dock but I need a cable that has a regular household 110 connection on the end so I can run my dehumidifier. I can't find anything like that; does anyone know of a cable like this?

I have an adapter that changes from screw on to regular household extension cord. But you can always make one with stuff from Lowes or Home Depot

Alright, I will try to find an adapter locally.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Here's an adaptor

Maybe you can find one for less, mine came with the boat courtesy of the previous owner, but I added the outlets and 120v to the boat.

Oops! Wrong link!! Fixed.

You need something like this.

If I read your message correctly you need to go the opposite way from the adaptor in Steve's message. If so the one your looking for is this:

http://www.westmarine.com/buy/marin...straight-adapter-30a-m-15a-f-1piece--12998316.

(It goes in the end of a regular marine cable)

Both cable and adaptor likely available from the store on this site as well.

So a normal 30 ampere, 120V marine cable with an adapter like twalker shows; the adapter would be 30 ampere male (to plug into the marine cord) to 20 ampere female to allow the dehumidifier to be plugged in.. You'll find that they are expensive, but if you make one up yourself, the components will cost about the same as a ready made unit.

Mine is like twalker's link if that helps, I just plug it into shore power and run a normal extension cord from there. but my marina doesn't care...

That's exactly what I am needing and dang right they are expensive.

Thanks for the help.
