Byline: deepak03 New Cable Captain from Bainbridge Marine is an easy to install, automatic shore power cable handling system for both power boats and yachts.

Sep 4, 2009 Princess Cruises Princess CruisesO Island Princess helped inaugurate the Port of VancouverOs new shore power facility by turning off its engines and instead plugging in to clean hydroelectric power from shore.

It runs on dockside alternating current (A/C) shore power and the 6,720 BTU unit cools a typical cabin on a 20- to 30-foot boat.

The result is much faster recharging of the batteries, either from shore power or from the motor home or tow vehicle alternator.

The house batteries hold the charge that powers your lights and other items when you''re not connected to shore power.

Comforts and necessities included a VHF/DSC radio, Navtex weather system, stereo/CD player with saloon and cockpit speakers, 12v cigar lighter power socket, autopilot, colour chart-plotter/GPS in cockpit, pressurised hot and cold water, 240v shore power system, a large fridge, cabin fans, a built-in cockpit table, fitted swimming ladder, bathing platform, deck shower and a dinghy with an outboard motor.

He added that the only operating cost of the RouteMax is the electrical shore power needed to recharge the cold plates while it is plugged in at night.

With an electric HVAC unit on board, the MorElectric System then can be leveraged to offer 2 cost-effective idling reduction solutions: an APU and plug-in Shore Power.
