Marinco 115A Pigtail Adapter, 15A 125V Male to 50A 125V Female, Locking, Yellow

The Marinco 115A is a molded shore power pigtail adapter that lets you connect a 15 Amp 125 Volt dockside receptacle (or other 15 Amp power source) to a boat equipped with a 50 Amp 125 Volt shore power inlet. The dock side terminates in a 15 Amp 125 Volt straight blade male plug with a locking screw, while the boat side terminates in a 50 Amp 125 Volt locking female connector fitted with Marinco's sealing collar system for use in wet locations. This lets a boat wired for 50 Amp shore power draw from a standard 15 Amp household or dock outlet without needing a separate transformer box.

The adapter body is fully molded in yellow thermoplastic or similar durable material, with covers on both ends to protect the contacts when not in use. A built-in LED power indicator lights up to confirm the connection is live, and a thumbprint ground blade locator combined with a contoured grip make it easier to orient and connect the plug correctly, including in low light. The 50 Amp female end carries 3 conductors and is rated up to 1875 watts at 125 Volts.
