Whether you have been around the boating world for a while, or just setting out you will doubles have heard of Shore Power and you might be wondering exactly what it is and what it does?
So what exactly is Shore Power? Well Shore Power is essentially the method of getting AC power from the Marina onto boat. Previously reserved for larger vessels it has become increasingly popular for even the smallest of boats to utilise the benefits of power from the shore, for many on board applications such as heating, kettles, microwaves and more. In fact its rare to see a boat in the Marina without some sort of Shore Power System.
As Shore Power uses a 240v supply it is essential that great care is taken in the fitting and the using of it, and a qualified Marine Engineer should always be used for fitting and fixing the supply as of course electricity and salt water are not a great combination!
