Low voltage is kinda tough on motors, makes them run hot and might be hard to start. Dual voltage electronics that are connected to 250 should be ok. Electronics that run on the 120 side can usually go down to 90v, so they *should* be ok, but the current going in will be higher which could cause problems on a marginal supply circuit.

Would be good to monitor voltage for while once your loads are applied. Usually a little voltage drop happens between shore and the boat. At that low a voltage, you don't have much margin at all.
