Marinco Marine On-Board Hard Wired Charger Inlet - 15Amp - Black

The Marinco Marine On-Board Hard Wired Charger Inlet — 15Amp in black — is a dedicated external charging port designed to streamline battery maintenance on boats without running extension cords across the deck or through cabin spaces. This hard-wired inlet mounts permanently on the boat's exterior and connects directly to an on-board battery charger, allowing you to plug an extension cord into the inlet itself rather than fumbling with direct battery terminals or compromising hatch security during charging cycles.

The 15-amp rating handles typical marine battery charger loads without bottlenecking charge rates on single or dual battery banks common in bass boats and center consoles. The flip-lid cover protects the inlet connection from spray, rain, and corrosion when not in use—critical in salt-air environments where exposed connectors degrade rapidly. Hard-wiring eliminates the risk of loose temporary connections that can arc or fail mid-charge. Installation requires integration with your boat's existing electrical system and charger circuit, so planning the run from charger to exterior mount location is essential before installation.

This inlet is ideal for weekend anglers and serious offshore fishermen who need reliable, convenient charging without breaking security protocols—keeping all hatches locked and closed throughout the charging cycle. The design suits bass boats, center consoles, and any vessel with on-board battery chargers where frequent shore power charging is part of regular maintenance. Marinco's marine-grade construction is built to withstand repeated use and exposure to marine environments where corrosion resistance directly impacts longevity.

On-board charger inlets have become standard equipment on newer production boats and are increasingly retrofitted on older vessels where anglers want to modernize charging infrastructure. This model integrates with Marinco's ecosystem of marine electrical components, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard hard-wire chargers and connector systems used across the boating market.
