Heading for the Bahamas in a few weeks. I've heard through the grapevine that one of the marinas we stay in is having some power issues due to getting hit by Hurricane Matthew. A review on Active captain said they were only getting 197 V at the pedestal.
My boat is 50A 125/250. No inverter. What are the risks to the boat if I use their power for a few days? I've heard it can be hard on AC compressors and other things.
My plan is to check the power when I get there and ask around the docks from the other boats to see if they are having problems before we plug in. I can always run the genset at the dock f it is really bad.
TIA.
