Need to replace female plug on the shore power cord.
Green wire is ground
Which...White or black wire to carry the 110 volts???
Previous post are correct:
Black is death
White is neutral
Green like the grass is ground.
Dark wire to dark screw, white wire to light screw. green to green.
HOWEVER....remember that the neutral wire returns the "power" back to the source. It essential becomes a "hot" wire if the circuit is completed (ie...light is on). Not something you needed to know for replacing a power cord, but important if you are playing around near a live circuit. I have seen people think they could play with the white on an open circuit Actually a closed-hot circuit. open circuit is something completely different. read open as HOT....they got tickled.
I added that last bit, because it concerned me that you asked which wire carried the voltage.....both do.
