Well, Ben, I stopped by the HD and there was absolutely nothing resembling
anything that would match up with the prongs on the male end (the 50A
pedestal side). The guy working the electric department happened to own a
boat so he, at least, knew what the hell I was talking about. Guess what
his recommendation was - "look it up in a Marinco or West Marine catalog"...
So I figured I completed the circle and am now back where I started from.
Fortunately I don't get slips a lot when cruising (I prefer my own hook or a
mooring ball) but from asking around I'm getting the impression that most
marinas - at least in my cruising area (L.I. Sound, Block, Newport, P-town,
etc.) - all have 50A 120/240V pedestals. I'll keep it on board for the
"just in cases" but for the most part, over the years I've been able to get
into slips with 30A service.
But enough of this..... we're heading out Monday for the week and, at least
at this point, aren't planning on any marinas....

Good luck - I hope the plug that I remember is the one that fits your
needs!
