I looked at that marine one again, and it has its limitations. The loads are shed for a pre-determined time (AC a little longer than the others) so it's not smart enough to bring the loads back on line only when there's available power. It only works with ONE 30- or 50-Amp main. So if you have two 30A feeding two main breakers, you're out of luck. It does seem to allow different "max" values depending on whether you're being fed by shore power or the on-board genset, which is a nice feature. But again, useless to me because my genset feeds two different mains.

I don't think the price is unreasonable, just not justifiable for me because I have more critical items still on my list.
