Want to build my own shore power pedestal
Hi
I came across this old thread and thought I would reach out. I have just added a dock behind my house and want to build my own shore power solution. I had an electrician run two 30 amp lines to a 4x4 post at the edge of the seawall. Plumber ran water and attached a hose bib. Now I am looking for advice on how to get to next step.
The 30 amp circuits are now just wires terminating in a metal box attached about half way up the 4x4 post.
Perhaps you can share what FD boxes you used, what weatherproof outlets, what weather proof circuit breakers and how you put it all together.
I can do indoor wiring, but have no experience setting up a shore power solution on a 4x4 post.
Thanks
On my home dock, I installed plan old hose bibs every 30' or so and a 20amp circuit for convenience outlets the same. I then installed (2) 30 amp plugs for the boat 50' apart, depending on where I or a visiting boat might tie up. Breakers in a box at foot of pier and another at house elec panel. Pretty cheap, and I like the convenience for other jobs around the dock. FYI, ours was 110' w/ 10' x 30' L on the end.
