Why hack into a prewired box, you loose your warranty for 1 and maybe
more. I agree the socket is crappy but there are other options.

For 200 you can get a 6 circuit 2 wattmeters prewired box with
exterior box , with sockets, and plugs and 10f of cable for your gen. It
was a 4 hr install. They even give these away free on ocasion at Lowes
if you buy a generac.

Because:
1) I already bought the transfer switch for $100
2) My gnerator is about 75' from the switch, and the 10f cable won't stretch
that far
