marine grade AC outlets
We are adding 110v system to our custom sailboat. We have located marine grade
wire and distribution panels but have been unable to locate marine grade outlets. Any help on this will be appreciated. Thanks, Benny S/V Panacea Panama City FL |
West Marine, Boat U/S, etc. Marinco makes them.

I have looked through these catalogs and could only find "low voltage" outlets.

There are some marine rated outlets in the "Wiring devices" catalog

Benny:
A very good line of marine AC wiring products is made by Hubbell of Milford, CT. See: http://www.hubbell-marine.com/catalog.htm for their marine product line. Mike Worrall Los Angeles |
Hate to tell you but the Hubble HBL53CM62 20A duplex "marine" socket is
constructed from exactly the same material as a standard $1.50 Levitron outlet you can get from Home Despot. They are just yellow. I know because I have a half dozen of them. Now the yellow does warn you that you are dealing with 120V but they are not worth $35 each. I went with Levitron GFI recepticals for $4 each. "Charles Erskine" wrote in message om...

Amen - except they are $0.79 up my way. All switchable or disconnectable electrical things eventually incur some corrosion over time; when it is problematic with an outlet, it takes 5 minutes to renew it with another $0.79 or $1.50 outlet. For the fastidious or those who don't know that an AC outlet carries AC, yellow spraypaint is $2 a can. Depending upon specific location & use, a watertight cover may make things worse instead of better. |
Spray all these things with Corrosion Block. Comes in a blue and white spray
can, and is made for electrical stuff. I spray my shore power connectors, AC and DC panel connections, etc. with this on a regular basis and never have a corrosion problem. -- Keith __ Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life. wrote in message om...

I like Corrosion X also. Corrosion Block doesn't really advertise how it
works, but Corrosion X tells you straight out that it incorporates polar molecules that help it penetrate and stick to the metal. I used to use the old G96 gun lube, which also had polar molecules, for years and years on guns and it completely prevented corrosion and fingerprint damage (I live in Oregon ...land of rain). That's why I'm a little bit biased towards Corrosion X. I know that commercial fishermen around here and in Alaska use it, and they also use Corrosion Block. I'm sure either works.
