[C320-list] SmartPlug Install

[Warren Updike]

I bought the Eel cable and am very happy with it. No "screwing around." Ha
ha, pun intended. It is nearly a snap-on as the jaws expand to snap onto the
threads of the receptacle. It also has an LED to indicate presence of power.

Hi Brian,

I've looked at the web sites and details for the SmartPlug set and the 
Marinco Eel cable, and I'm not sure I see the advantage of the 
SmartPlug, given that you also have to change out the inlet in your 
boat.  What are the advantages you have found?

Thanks,
