      Best Practices for Shore Power Cord Storage and Maintenance


      Your shore power cord is your yacht’s lifeline to reliable electricity. Improper storage or neglect can cause dangerous failures.

      Inspection Checklist

      • Check connectors for corrosion or burns
      • Look for cuts or abrasions along the cable
      • Test continuity with a multimeter
      • Verify secure strain relief at the plug ends

      Proper Storage

      • Always coil your cord loosely—tight coils can damage insulation.
      • Store in a dry, ventilated compartment.
      • Use cord bags or reels to prevent kinks.

      Cleaning Tips

      • Rinse with fresh water to remove salt.
      • Dry thoroughly before storage.
      • Apply dielectric grease to terminals for corrosion prevention.

      Load Awareness
      Never exceed the rated capacity. Even heavy-duty cords can overheat if overloaded.
