Hubbell HBL61CM52WLED 50A 250V 50' Cordset White

Why This Shore Power Cord Stands Out for Boaters

Powering your vessel safely and reliably at the dock starts with the right shore cord. Designed for demanding marine conditions, this 50-amp cord delivers robust performance with smart features that give you peace of mind. Whether you're on a weekend cruise or extended liveaboard, its rugged construction handles saltwater spray, UV exposure, and constant flexing without skipping a beat.

Boat owners know the frustration of power interruptions or wiring faults—issues that can leave you in the dark. This cord's integrated LED indicators cut through the guesswork, lighting up green for solid power and red for potential problems, so you can connect confidently every time.

Key Features That Enhance Safety and Durability

• Bull Ring Strain Relief: Reinforces the connection point to prevent pulls from damaging the cord during docking or storms.
• LED Power Indicators: Green glow confirms a secure power flow; red alert flags reversed polarity or open grounds instantly, reducing fire risks.
• Crimp Termination Technology: Creates ultra-secure, corrosion-resistant connections that outlast traditional methods in harsh marine settings.
• Fully Molded Design: Seals out moisture completely, ensuring IP67-level waterproofing and years of trouble-free service.
• Flexible PVC Jacket: Stays pliable in cold weather and resists cracking, making it easy to coil and store.

Perfect Fit for 50-Amp Boat Power Needs

Handling single-phase 125/250V AC at 50 amps, this 50-foot cord suits mid-to-large boats with high-power demands like air conditioning, electric cooking, or multiple appliances. Its length provides flexibility for various slip configurations, while the white color blends seamlessly with most deck aesthetics.

In marine environments, where humidity and salt accelerate wear, premium materials like this PVC jacket make a huge difference. It resists oil, ozone, and abrasion, keeping conductivity optimal season after season.

Installation and Usage Tips from Seasoned Mariners

Connect one end to your boat's power inlet and the other to the dock pedestal. Watch the LEDs: green means you're good to go. If red lights up, check for proper grounding or consult the pedestal—better safe than dealing with electrical downtime.

Store coiled loosely to avoid kinks, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure, and inspect annually for frays. Pairing it with a surge protector adds extra defense against voltage spikes from shore power fluctuations.

Pro tip: For overnight stays, drape the cord over railings to minimize ground contact and puddles, extending its lifespan even further.

Real-World Reliability in Tough Conditions

Feedback from captains on the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast highlights how these cords shrug off nor'easters and tropical downpours. The molded ends stay watertight, and LEDs have saved countless trips from failed connections. If you're upgrading from a basic cord, expect fewer hassles and more time enjoying the water.
