CS34 Electrical

The power at the docks at Whitby Yacht Club are 15 amp twist lock.  I had made up a pigtail to adapt the 15 amp twist lock to the 30 amp twist lock on the boat.  Works fine.  Sometimes I wish WYC had more power at the docks, as I have popped the breaker a couple of times running the ceramic heater running and the water heater would kick in!

However, when the boat is on the hard, all the circuits are regular 15 amp GFCI outlets.

So, I made up a 15 amp twist lock to regular adapter.


Much cheaper than buying a 30amp to 15amp marine pigtail ($70!).  $18 for twist lock plug from Home Depot and used some wire and regular plug I had around the house.
