[C320-list] DOMESTIC EXTENSION CHORDS

[Doug Treff]

I have one of these adapters and have occasionally used it to power up the boat's electrical system for light loads. I have always been careful not to run heavier loads such as my water heater or onboard Air Conditioner while plugged into the household cord. Generally, I wouldn't leave it like this for long periods of time unattended. Mainly I use it when on the hard because they only have 15 amp plugs in the yard work area. 

I've visited a few docks where 15A was the only thing available. I just made sure I didn't leave it plugged in while I wasn't on board to monitor things. And definitely kept my onboard power use limited. Works fine with my battery charger.
