During the winter months most of us don’t get to go out sailing too much unless we head for sunnier climes! With your boat moored up it is the ideal time to get some jobs done so you’re ready to set sail as soon as Spring has sprung. 

With most marinas now fitted with plug in shore power connections, it makes sense to get 220/240v onboard, which means not only can you plug your power tools in and make lighter work of some of the more demanding and time consuming jobs, but you can also run battery chargers, additional lights so you can actually see what you’re doing, plug in extra heat and other useful pieces of equipment!

Marine Electronic Services is offering an easy to install shore power kit with 15m extension cable (with the marine plug fitted) and a RCD protected outlet box housing three 13A standard sockets.  The box can clip on to a bulkhead or even hang on a hook for a temporary installation.  As water and electricity don’t mix well the system incorporates a residual current trip (RCD) and 16A circuit breaker for total protection.Â

During the summer months when you are out sailing and stopping off at marinas, you might really appreciate being able to use a few household appliances and accessing some home comforts without any additional hassle.Â

The power kit is priced at £59.95 including VAT, which is a special Christmas offer, and will make a great present for the boat owning enthusiast and might even make living on board a bit more comfortable!   You can order online at www.mesltd.co.uk or call +44 (0) 117 911 4111.
