Features to know about

Why Use a Soft Start for Your Boat?

A soft start device reduces the initial inrush current when an AC compressor kicks on. Instead of that harsh power spike that can trip breakers or overload generators, the soft start gradually ramps up the compressor's motor, making it easier to start an AC unit on limited power sources (like small generators, shore power, or inverters).

Power Up in Seconds

Not only will this device reduce your startup power demand by up to 70 percent, it's going to make your AC startup quieter, and reduce wear on the compressor. Plus, you get to skip the complicated install and dealing with wiring. Just plug ActiveStart into your vessel's shore power or generator connection using the included dogbone and ground-neutral plug. You'll have safe, reliable power and cool air in less than a minute wherever you dock.


Active Start Size.

Stay Cool with Small Generators

Designed to reduce startup current, ActiveStart helps you run your air conditioner with a portable generator. To guarantee performance, your generator needs at least 2,300 watts for a 13.5K AC or 2,500 watts for a 15K AC.

Marine-Grade Surge Protection

The surge protection module guards your boat or camper electronics and appliances from dangerous voltage spikes, rated at 3,150 joules for extra peace of mind. And if it gets hit or wears out, the surge module is replacable.

Real-Time Monitoring with the App

The Bluetooth mobile app makes it easy to check voltage, startup power, and view fault messages in real time, right from your phone.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Active Controls ActiveStart Plugin Soft Start for your boats. Now, this is going to give you 30-amp soft start protection for your entire boat, and you're gonna be able to enjoy smoother, quieter startups that will ease the compressor load on your air conditioner, pumps and refrigerators, so that in turn is going to make your evenings more peaceful and efficient. You're gonna be able to run your entire rig's 30-amp system without needing a bigger generator, so that's going to help make every watt count. And then you're also with this, going to be able to protect your sensitive electronics from power spikes with 3,150 joules of built-in surge defense, and the surge protection module can be replaced if it wears out, and we do carry those replacement modules here at etrailer.com. So, you're just gonna plug this into the shore power pedestal at your marina for a quick and easy setup.

It includes this dog bone here and plug for un-bonded generators. And then an added benefit is you're gonna be able to monitor your system easily with an app that's going to give you detailed data, so you're gonna be able to see what's going on with this, and it's gonna be a free download in your app store depending on which smartphone you use. As you see, we have a cover here, it's spring-loaded. That's gonna do a great job of protecting this outlet when it's not in use. Kinda clicks into place there.

Instructions are also included to guide you through the operation to make sure that you're using this the way that it's been designed and intended. You do have a indicator light here as well, and then this will come with instructions on how to decipher the codes that the light's giving you, so that's gonna all be included with this. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
