Product Care
Your MARINCO shore power adapter is intended for use outdoors. To prolong the life of the
adapter, store indoors when not in use.
The metal parts of your MARINCO EEL adapter are made to resist corrosion. In a salt
water environment, life of the product can be increased by periodically cleaning the
exposed parts with fresh water, drying and spraying with a moisture displacement aerosol.
A soiled cable can be cleaned with grease cutting household detergent. If you’re basic
soap and water doesn’t do the job, there are cord cleaners available through most marine
retailers. A periodic application of vinyl protector will help both ends and cable maintain
their original appearance.

Troubleshooting
Marinco plugs, connectors, receptacles and inlets are engineered to provide years of
trouble free service. However, the marine environment can cause problems with even
the best design devices. Problems can be detected while they are small, it can save the
owner time and expense later on. The most common problem with electrical connections is
overheating.Fortunately,overheatingcanbedetectedandquicklyremedied.Thefollowing
are precautions and solutions to extend the life of your Marinco product.
What to look for……
Beforeeachuse,examinetheendsoftheadapter.Lookfordiscolorationormeltingaround
the blades of the plug (male end) and around the slots on the connector (female end).
Examinethefaceoftheinletontheboatandlookfordiscolorationormeltingaroundthe
bladesoftheinlet.ExaminethereceptacleattheMarinaandlookfordiscoloration,wear
or deterioration around the slots.
What causes overheating…..
Overheating is generally caused by one or two conditions: corrosion of the metal blades or
contacts, or bad connections between the wiring device and the wires connected to it.
Severely corroded blades or contacts are a result of exposure to a corrosive environment,
mostcommonlyhumidity.Corrodedcontactsdonotmakeagoodelectricalconnectionand
overheating will results.
Bad connections between a wiring device and the electrical wires can be a result of loose
terminations, corrosion on the wires or terminals, or the wires not being stripped properly
leaving the wire insulation under the terminals. A bad connection will result in overheating
of the terminal.
What to do……..
