Marinco

Marinco is a marine electrical brand specialising in shore-power connections, power conversion and management products, and harsh-environment electrical components. Its focus is the interface between dock power and the vessel's onboard system — the inlets, cordsets and fittings that carry shore supply aboard safely and reliably. PowerSol distributes Marinco across Southern Africa for leisure-marine and commercial-marine work.

Marinco's core competence is power connection: the physical and electrical link that brings dock supply onto a boat. That means shore-power inlets, plugs and cordsets engineered for an environment where ordinary electrical hardware fails — constant moisture, salt-laden air, UV and vibration. The brand's reputation rests on connections that seat positively, seal against ingress and stay serviceable over years of dockside use.

Beyond the connection itself, Marinco carries power conversion and management products that condition and route incoming supply onboard, and a broader range of harsh-environment electrical components for use throughout the vessel. The thread running through the catalogue is durability under marine conditions rather than convenience alone, which is why the products are equally at home in commercial-marine duty cycles as in leisure use.

For installers, this matters at the point where compliance and safety are least forgiving. Shore-power connections sit at the boundary between an external mains source and the boat's wiring, so connector quality, correct sealing and sound conductor practice are not optional. Specifying a recognised marine brand for these parts keeps the installation predictable and supports inspection against accepted marine electrical practice.
