Purchased new SmartPlug for our shore power connection - 2024

 Purchased a SmartPlug for our shore power needs. This setup will automatically shut the shore power off if the temperature gets to 200 f which is about where the wire insulation melts. That will prevent a fire.
 We did have a problem with our shore power connection, and it almost caught fire. Luckly I was onboard and was able to unplug it but not before it sustained burn damage This was during a storm and the connection worked loose.
 We will install this in the next couple months while we are at anchor and not using our shore power cable.
 Also the plug at the end of the chord that goes into the dock box is a bit corroded so we will replace it with the new plug and watertight jacket.
 Purchased this all from San Diego Marine Exchange.
