Marinco S30-15 Shore Power Straight Adapter, 30 Amp 125V Male to 15/20 Amp 125V Female

The Marinco S30-15 is a straight shore power adapter that converts a 30 Amp 125V locking dock-side male plug down to a 15 or 20 Amp 125V straight blade boat-side female connector. It is a high-quality, one-piece adapter used in the same way as pigtail-style adapters, letting a boat with a smaller shore power inlet connect to a standard 30 Amp marina pedestal outlet, or allowing a boat to draw power from a household-style 15/20 Amp outlet when a full 30 Amp shore connection is not available.

The adapter is molded from Nylon in a yellow housing for high visibility on deck or dock, and it includes a built-in Power LED indicator so you can confirm at a glance that power is present at the connection. Because the S30-15 does not have sealing collars, it is intended for use in dry, protected connection points and is not recommended for wet locations. It replaces the earlier 81A adapter and is backed by a 1 year limited warranty.
