So we have people that do not like "regular" cords going to a boat. If its such a crime then why are there 110v outlets on the docks? I will tell you why, its so you can run something you may need like a drill ...... on the dock or in your boat.
So if some guy (who may not have a factory shore power setup) wants to run a 110v cord to his boat to sand something or drill something down below, he is breaking the dock police's law?
I can imagine drilling something in our sail boat and then having someone unplug my cord, I appear at the hatch and say to the dude that just unplugged the cord..."Hi, could you plug me back in please?" Then he goes into a 500 word rant about how he is justified in unplugging the cord, and that he is willing to stand there all day to insure the safety of the marina.
I would then promptly call the police and state that he repeatedly offered me BJ's for $20.00 even after I insisted I could get them elsewhere for $18.95 by a female and for $13.88 from a shemale.
I don't believe in violence you see..... if I pushed him off the dock he could get electrocuted from my brown lamp cord that runs my Sea Ray 30amp shore power. |

| Amazing how this thread has become like the old party trick .... where you tell one person something and then they tell another etc .. until it gets back to the first and is unrecognizable. Pascal never said he unplugged anything, but has been accused at least twice!!! Have patience .. spring is coming!!! |

PascalG, why don't you go repair the problems on your own boat, instead of wasting your time starting bs threads like this one. Man, get a life.
My statement was not an acusation the Pascal unplugged anyone. It's a statement of fact, inserted into a reply. If you want to massage it into anything more, as many comments on this forum are, go for it.
Anyone with any common sense knows electricity and water don't mix, the poll in itself is nonsense, and the comments resulting from it, well, they speak for themselves.
I have never been in a good marina where self appointed dock captains or what ever they call themselves is worth a damn. |

Perhaps "common sense" tells you that, but the physical laws of this world tell us that pure water does NOT conduct electricity, it is the minerals and/or contaminants in the water that conduct electricity. |

What can I say? I'm just a nut!
(I also removed the tags from my mattress that warned not to remove them under penalty of law) |

This is true, if you are in a labratory doing an experiment. Is your boat in a labratory? That's the dumbest statement I have ever heard in any boating forum, obviously meant to just disagree. Show me where anyone is boating in pure water. |

To have any kind of defense on why electric cords should be in the water is insane. Those that defend that, all I can say is the the square block will never fit in the round hole :)

| Actually water and electricity do mix. If the water is salty enough it will make Sodium Hypochlorite. I am trying to keep the barnacles off the hull by having the cord in the canal. |
