ABSTRACT:
A passive, channel-like support system routed and secured adjacent to the inside or outside upper edge of a boat slip in a marina or a boat dock to guide, retain, support and protect the marine-grade shore power cords, accessory cables, water hose and such that feed electricity and other services to a boat from receptacles or power outlets mounted on the dock. A series of standard lengths of these generally "C" shaped sections basically mounted end to end and adapted to coincide with the varying dimensions of boat slips and the different distances the cords must travel to reach from the dock-side outlets to inlets on the side of the boat. The relative uncomplicated nature of the elements, structure and precise detailing facilitate ongoing access to the cords and an easy installation process. A plurality of pairs of pre-drilled through-holes are strategically positioned along the outside edges to provide entry points for a fastening device like a screw - with a larger hole on the opposite side providing an access opening for a rotating tool such as a screw driver. Drain holes positioned along the bottom serve uncovered boat slip applications. By relocating the cords, cables and such to this support channel, adjacent dock surfaces are unencumbered while the cords and cables are retained in an accessible, attractive and safer passageway.
