Default What kind of plug do I need for shore power?

Does anyone know what the plug is called that goes into shore power.....It looks like one of those 220 plugs almost. We are going to Cumberland this weekend and tieing up with a house baot that said we can bum some power off their generator.

You probably have a 30A shore power cord (3 prong) on your boat, and may need a 110 adapter to plug into the genset. Home depot/Lowes do not carry these cords unless you buy all the ends and make them up yourself.....these are boat specific cords which means you go to a boating supply store and pay through the nose for them!!! (50 ft 30A cord is about $75.00, the 110 adapter is probably around $40.00)
