    I don't know what gauge wire is in that cord but they claim its good for 50 amps. However I don't see that they offer a 100' length so line drop may be a problem and its never a good idea to plug and entenson cord into an extension cord. This also should be GFCI at the breaker or the receptacle. Not knowing what you are doing I might suggest running a regular outdoor/under ground rated cable out to near the shore to a receptacle. The use your Marinco from there to the dock or boat.
