Thetford 30/50 Amp Electrical Cable Hatch | 94336
Thetford 30/50 Amp Electrical Cable Hatch | 94336 — Product description
Feeding a shore power cord into your boat means a hole in the hull, and that hole needs a proper door. This Thetford electrical cable hatch gives you a lockable, weather-shedding entry for a 30 or 50 amp cord in black, with a key-alike lock so it matches the rest of your hatches.
The Thetford Electrical Cable Hatch is the door that covers the spot where your shore power cord enters the boat. Every time you plug into dock power, that cord has to pass through the hull or a bulkhead, and you want a clean, lockable hatch sitting there instead of an open hole with a cord jammed through it. This one handles that job in black, with a spring door that closes on the cord and sheds weather when you're unplugged.
Sizing is the part people get wrong, so measure before you order. The cutout you need is 4-3/4 inches tall by 5-7/8 inches wide. The finished hatch sits proud of that opening at 6-1/2 inches tall by 7-5/8 inches wide, and the collar runs 1-1/8 inches deep behind the mounting surface. If you're replacing an old hatch, hold the new one up to the existing cutout first. A cutout that's close but not exact is a quick trim with a file or a jigsaw. Measure twice, cut once. That's the whole game here.
It accepts up to a 30 amp or 50 amp shore power cord, so it covers the two connector sizes most boats and RVs run. The door carries a key-alike lock, which means it opens on a common key pattern shared across matching Thetford hatches. That's handy if you've already got Thetford locks on board and don't want yet another key on the ring. The body is molded from UV and impact resistant material, so it holds its black color and doesn't go brittle or chalky after a few seasons baking in the sun.
This is a straightforward swap for a cracked, faded, or missing cable hatch, and it's just as clean as an addition when you're rigging a new shore power inlet from scratch. You'll want a jigsaw or a hole template for a fresh cutout, plus a bead of marine sealant behind the collar to keep water out of the core. It's an afternoon job with basic hand tools, not something you need to farm out to the yard. Once it's in, you plug in, close the door on the cord, and lock it. Done.
