SmartPlug Boat Side 30A 125V Retrofit Kit
Safety and Peace of Mind

Awesome product very simple to install. A bit of wire cutting and splicing. Pretty much plug and play. Can’t put a price on safety of your family or protecting the value of your boat. Most insurance companies will also give you a discount if you use this product. This product is well worth the investment and peace of mind.
