Attaching 50amp cables with marine connections

I have two 50amp cables where one end is a female marine twist connection and the other end is a standard 50amp male plug. For the life of me I can't find a pigtail or conversion device that would allow me to connect them to each other. I believe that would require a female standard plug on one end and a male twist lock on the other. Any suggestions?
  • Does your RV have 'twist lock' for power cord?

    And you want to connect the TWO 50A cords together .......one plugged into your RV via twist lock and then the other cord connected to that one as an extension cord?

    IF so....cut the twist lock off one of the cords and replace it with a standard 50A female plug....then you can plug the 'extension cord' into the male plug on the power cord that is connected to your RV via twist lock

    Or just cut the twist locks off both and replace with standard 50A female plugs
  • You could remove the twist lock from one and install a 50 amp range receptacle.
  • Nema l6-50r to nema 14-50r

  • Say again? So you need twist lock male to dryer outlet female?

    Might have to build it. Home Depot should have these fittings in the electric isle.
