What Are the Benefits of a Shore Side Smartplug?

Question:

I am considering the Smart Plug for my boat but it has been brought to my attention some are being brought back in for replacement with assembly issues. Would you consider the Smart Plug?

Answer:

In life and in boating there is no silver bullet. The smart plug is a clear improvement (but no miracle) over the old system if it is installed and used properly. In my professional opinion, I'd go with the smart plug.
