Hubbell HBL61CM42W 50A 250V 25 Foot White Shore Cord

Engineered for Reliable Marine Power Delivery

Imagine pulling into your slip after a long day on the water, knowing your boat's electrical system is powered by a cord built to handle the harshest marine environments. This 50A 250V shore power cord from Hubbell Marine stands out with its 25-foot length, providing ample reach without excess cord clutter. Crafted with a white vinyl jacketed design, it blends seamlessly with most boat aesthetics while offering superior flexibility and durability.

The #6 AWG STOW cable type ensures low voltage drop over distance, keeping your onboard appliances running smoothly. Factory pre-wiring with molded-on connections eliminates weak points, reducing the risk of failures that could leave you in the dark. On the connector end, a metallic threaded sealing ring creates a watertight barrier, achieving IP56 boatside protection against splashing waves, rain, and dockside spray.

Why Boaters Trust This Shore Cord for Peace of Mind

In the world of marine electrics, reliability isn't optional—it's essential. This cord minimizes power interruptions that could spoil food in your fridge or halt your AC during hot nights. Its white color reduces heat absorption compared to black alternatives, staying cooler under the sun. Boaters report fewer replacements and repairs, thanks to Hubbell's proven engineering that prioritizes safety standards like UL listing for marine applications.

Whether you're on a weekend cruiser or liveaboard yacht, this cord supports high-demand loads without overheating. It also aids in quick setups at transient marinas, where standard cords often fall short on length or weatherproofing.

Simple Installation and Everyday Use Tips

Setting up is straightforward: Align the connector with your boat's inlet, twist the sealing ring hand-tight for a secure fit, and connect the plug end to shore power. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage. For storage, coil loosely to avoid kinks, and rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to extend life.

Pro tip: Pair with a surge protector for added defense against power spikes common at marinas. Regularly inspect for frays or cracks, especially near high-traffic areas like the dock pedestal.

Maintenance for Long-Term Performance

1. Dry thoroughly after each use to prevent mildew in the jacket.
2. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Test connections seasonally for continuity and resistance.
4. Avoid dragging over sharp edges or running over with vehicles.

With proper care, this cord delivers years of dependable service, outlasting generic alternatives prone to early failure in wet conditions.
