An essential aid for traveling boaters when connecting to unfamiliar dockside power. The quality of marina wiring can vary greatly from place to place and from plug to plug. That is why most boats designed to plug into shore power have a polarity indicator. It is usually a warning light on the AC electrical panel, although it can also be an audible alarm. It is an important safety feature that few boat owners fully understand or appreciate.
With a couple of exceptions, it should be standard equipment on every boat that is capable of plugging into a common 120-volt AC shore power outlet. Its purpose is to allow the boat owner to verify that the electrical outlet on the dock is wired correctly.
When the polarity is incorrect or reversed, it is because the hot and neutral wires are switched. Without an indicator light, you will not know when this condition exists.

''Awesome discounts on fishing reels and GPSs. Plus they have next day shipping. The convenience of online shopping is awesome, especially since it's getting harder to get around in store. They made sure I got the electronics I needed and all the hardware for the install. They even do repair and installs, so I ended up hiring them for the work I needed done on my Mercury. Awesome experience.''

Family owned and operated, which is a huge plus for me! I was browsing the website looking at Garmin gps units, their prices are great and competitive! I reached out to them to ask where I might find a hard to find lower unit part I was needing. They had it in stock! If they don’t have something in stock, they will get it asap! 100% recommend and I will buy from them again in the future!
