There is an electricity supply here in the boat yard, but the socket are standard household plugs, and I didn’t have anyway of plugging in my shore power cable. I’ve made do for two nights now, but needed the power today to run tools. I was pondering on how to do it on the cheap, then remember that I still had a small tail of cable and the plug from the shore power lead I bought and butchered to fit the Marinco plug. I went to the local hardware shop and bought a plug for 99p, wired it to the tail that was sitting happily in my stern locker, and plugged it all in.
My new adaptor works perfectly, all for 99p.
Jobs a goodun. Right, now I have to do some scary things with a drill and my keel!
