366 shore power

[Carverlvr2]

Just bought my second Carver aft cabin. Went from the 1992 “33” (which was really the 350) to my new to me 2004 366. I expected most things to be roughly the same, just newer. One thing has me puzzled more than most changes…the shore power cables are hardwired in. No connector plugs. Just two long-ass cables that store and come out of the aft steps. WHY? Why would they not put in connection plugs like every other boat? How the heck am I going to replace those cords that no doubt wind through completely inaccessible areas of the boat and probably zip tied every foot along the way? I’m open to all thoughts and suggestions.

I think every owner of Carver's with the hardwired shore power cables has asked the same thing, but no one has an answer to "why" that I know of.

At least one member here converted theirs to more normal connections: viewtopic.php?t=871

Ya that's a pain but Carver wasn't the only OEM to do it that way.
