The pedestal requires a direct feed electrical service capable of handling dual 30-amp circuits plus a 20-amp GFCI circuit. The power distribution box accommodates up to 2/0 AWG wire size. A licensed electrician must install appropriate circuit breakers and ensure compliance with NEC Article 555 marina electrical requirements.

Yes, the SPC-36-3A-250 is specifically engineered for harsh marine conditions. It features powder-coated white finish inside and outside, marine-grade stainless steel fasteners with nylon washers, and a cone top design for water runoff. The 15-year structural warranty demonstrates its durability in saltwater environments.

The dual 30-amp outlets accommodate most recreational boats from 30-50 feet requiring shore power for air conditioning, battery charging, and onboard systems. Larger vessels may use both outlets simultaneously, while smaller boats typically use one 30-amp connection plus the 20-amp GFCI outlets for additional equipment.

Yes, the PL-7 fluorescent light with photocell sensor automatically activates only when ambient light levels drop, ensuring dock safety illumination without wasting energy during daylight hours. This feature reduces operational costs while maintaining essential nighttime visibility for safe boat docking operations.

Yes, but installation on floating docks requires special consideration for NEC Article 555 requirements. The electrical datum plane must be maintained at least 30 inches above water level and 12 inches above the floating dock surface. Professional electrical design is recommended to ensure compliance with tidal variation requirements.
