Empower Your Powercord

   It rains a lot in the Pacific Northwest, which means your shore power cord is vulnerable to corrosion. Corrosion, as you know, creates resistance to electrical flow exactly where you don't want it: where the male end of your plug meets the female end of your shore power. At least that's what we've found aboard L'Esprit.
   But thanks to Shawn Clarke of Pacific Marine Electric in Bellingham, we have learned to combat this problem.

   According to Shawn's suggestion, Capt. Dave sprays either Boeshield T-9 or Corrosion-X onto/into both the male and female shore power connections at the dock and on your boat.
  I have to admit when he told me this, I thought it would create a short. But it doesn't. What happens is that corrosion is reduced. Electricity flows. Capt. Dave's happy, and I am therefore happy.
