If you mean the blue ones, yes. If you mean the towing plug/sockets then no.

Deffo if blue (16A) ones. In fact, I have bought all our electrical stuff from our local caravan place. 1/2 the price of our local chandlery.
On the same point (sorry to hijack your thread). Does anybody know where to get an "in-line" electricity meter (MDL-Stylie) without having to part with neigh on 150 squid?

they're the fella's. Metermaid do them for £145ish, MDL want £180 for them. Thats a v fair markup IMHO, so i'm not attacking them at all. What I object to is the fact that I can buy a leccy meter from anywhere for less than £40, but, as usual, when its to do with boat, "they" make up the price!!! grrrrr.
I'm gonna ask when Ocean Village Marina are gonna get nice new pontoons and pylons like our posher sisters at Hamble Point..... *huff*

We must be lucky then. We are on a new pontoon / power supply with the meter in the box. The only problem we have is our marina sending us a bill every month, for electricity used. In the summer it ranges from 50p per month, to 2 pounds in the winter. It must cost them more in manpower to work the bill out type it up and stick a stamp on it.

Thanks Robin ,Idid mean the blue ones.I bought some plugs to make up a shore lead from a camping shop and then thought .."I wonder".
I was hoping to try it out in Watchet Marina tonight but with a Westerly force 8 forecast for tommorow would make a wet and uncomfortable return tommorow.
Problem is that the Ebb tide sets in before you round Lavernock point which has a tide race and overfalls even in a force 4. So force 8 wind against the strong ebb tide in a 22 foot boat??? Been there got the (wet)T shirt as they say.

Standard marina plugs are 16amp water-resistant throughout Europe. You may find, in some French marinas, their 5/10 amp domestic plug and in a number of marinas where large yachts visit 32 amp plugs.
