If you install the 'right' connectors, one at bow, one at stern, you
will energise the prongs sticking out of the unused one. If someone
removes that weather cover, full line power is available for prying
fingers. Dangerous, unless you have a switch over to select only
one input plug.

Perhaps I was unclear on that point: I would of course install a full
break point switch between the two plugs. Either, never both.

Fact is, I would use the bow plug 95% of the time as I dock bow in.
When I travel, however, and am stern in or on a wall with a bit of a
distance to a plug, or when I am in the cradle on the hard all winter,
I would revert to the stern plug.

Thanks.
