The only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned yet is a larger battery.  |

As usual......I was overthinking this. I went to talk with the big dock dealer in the area. He said as long as you use a GOOD extension cord and keep the ends high and dry......many folks just attach the cord to the bottom of their docks via zip ties. Keep the female end under the boat canopy and zip tie it where its dry. Figure out a way to keep the shore end dry.....and I am golden.
I already have a 100 foot HD 12 gauge construction-grade extension cord.....and it has the lighted end. Also have the GFI outlet.....so Im gonna save some time and work and just zip tie it as said above. Plug it in as needed. Just measured my needs from inside the boat hoist cover.....all the way to shore is 85'. I can add a short (25 foot) extension cord via a waterproof connector.....and I should be good to go.
Not sure why I thought this was rocket surgery. I guess electricity, water and aluminum docks make me nervous.

This is what we do, Just zip tie the cord to the dock and keep your ends high where you connect so they stay dry. |
