A good point was made above, that if the receptacles on the boat or dock are bad, then the new cord's plugs will be short-lived as well. I made a habit of regularly grabbing my plugs and the cable right behind them to feel for heat, especially when operating at high load. They should be cool to the touch with no trace of warmth to your hand.
