2002 Grady 282 Sailfish shore power inlet

[fireman_bob]

Hi,
I'm trying to remove the shore power inlet on my 282 sailfish (stb side rear) and I can't seem to get the unit to pull out of the cut out hole. I've got the 4 mounting screws out of the cover and the assembly pulls out about 3/4" but there's something preventing it from coming completely out. Is there any way to access the connector from the rear?
I would really like to know how the heck they got this plug in there to begin with as there's no access that I can see to get a hand back there.
Thank you,
Bob

The cable is connected to it I'd say. The cable runs from there to the AC panel in the cabin, main breaker, and ground. Follow the routing from the panel - to find some slack. If it was cut too short replace it with a longer cable, if that's what you find. The usual precautions apply working on electrics.

Email Grady HQ customer service or stop by local Grady dealer and ask them. Access to the elec connections is important in my opinion to check by re-tighening each of the three.

I got the unit out by twisting it sideways an upwards. There's a lip on the receptacle housing that has to clear the hole. The only way to get it to clear is to rotate the unit clockwise and tilt it down.
