Probably saves snapping the shore lead if he leaves his berth without unplugging.

That is truly appalling - has he not heard of stainless steel screws???

 

[derekh]

I'm not supprised he has problems. You can clearly see the wires are corroded

Round head screws would have looked neater!

Stainless steel screws is a silly suggestion as it has a much higher resistance than brass.

Rhymes with, “Clucking Bell……….!” I’m hoping that photo has been staged and not for real…..! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I wasn't thinking about resistance - the screws are just to hold the wires in - I was more worried about the asthetics and lowering the tone of the marina, but I take your point in that brass would not rust either. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Those screws are a disgrace the heads look to be full of paint,
you would think he would at least use new ones, /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I dont think he's too worried about aesthetics and tone - he's at anchor using a generator.

I'm wondering how he's earthed it???

Looks like a skilled electrician out here in Transilvania has done that.

 

[sailorman]

must be an electricians generator. they normally use match sticks

[burgundyben]
