[PUP] Power cords 30/50

  Yes you need to replace both the cable end what it goes into-relativly cheap insurance. I use lanocane-a lanoline grease available at west marine to keep the contacts clean. As I said take some 30 and 50 amp connectors apart and determine for yourself which one you want attached to your-it will burn down to the waterline hull material. I would also consider replacing shore power cords every few years-reusing your 50 amp connector- the individual, untinned, strands of wire get green and act as individuals rather than a group. As to the issue of violating specs, thicker and stronger and even gold plated is always better than thinner, cheaper and compromised. Kevin

just not understanding?
