Connecting 30A shorepower cord sets?
I have a run of two 25 ft cord sets in order to get shorepower to my slip at the marina. If you hook the cords together, the plug rotates, engages and locks, but the sealing ring on the female end that would normally attach to the outlet to make a secure connection doesn't engage with the male plug. i figured the manufacturer (Marinco) would make a waterproof connector of some sort, but I cant find anything with an adequate description. I found this on the West Marine site, but there is no description saying what it used for. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servle...
I asked once at the West Marine store and it seemed the person didn't know anything about it.
I'm sure you might ask "Well, why don't you use a 50 ft cord?" I had a 25' and was able to buy used 25' when I changed slips at the marina. A new 50' cord sells for about $90. $90 I would rather not have to spend.

If your cords are like the few that i have, there should be a spacer that would go in between the male and female ends. It allows female threaded ring on both ends of the cord to thread together, just like a nipple used in plumbing. Marineco makes it, the westmarine part number is 154922, 18.99 on the website. I just looked at your link, it is the right part.
