Hi
I have recently bought a Fairline Targa 38 (2011 model) and want to buy a new electrical hook up including the connector which attaches to the boat.
I think I need this one MARINCO 32A 230V CONNECTOR KIT, could anyone confirm this is correct.

Thanks

Probably, can you post a picture of your boat shorepower connector?
 
I do not have one to hand , so could only get it next time I am at the boat, on the current one supplied when I bought the boat it says 32A on it, but this could be because this was what the broker had spare. I know a friend has a Sealine F380 and the connector is different to his.

The physical size of 16A and 32A CEEFORM is different. They won't mate if different ratings

True, but he said Marinco, which is usually those nasty American twist-lock things with really small contact area and a tendency to catch fire. Not Ceeform.

We had a 37 ft Volvo Penta boat ( with sized batt + charger + airco etc ) it was 16 A .
When touring , you can end up on a bigger berth sized for 32 A so ended up with a sack of adaptors .
Then we got a bigger boat 48 ft oal , which is a 24 v boat , 80 ah charger , 42 K BTU airco and bigger starter batts so is 32 A .
But we still use the various adaptors occasionally on visitors berths .

Strangely in the Med theres even a difference of plug , they are not all ( but thankfully most are ) the marinco type , so Sometimes it’s an adaptor for the same size amps to match the sockets up .
