- 54' Bruce Roberts steel sailboat hull, coastal LRC, 220HP CAT 3306.
My boat is upgraded to 50A. This includes the isolation transformer, before the switchboard.
Recently, I moved to a different slip in my marina, where there is only 30A pedestals are available. My previous slip had a 50A next to me. Since winter is here, we need to heat our boats, which sucks away the power and appliances are not happy.
I can reach to two different 30A pedestals and I have enough cables to bring them to my boat. The problem is that I cannot find an adapter, which would take the two separate 30A cables and combine them into my 50A 125V on board (male) receptacle.
All my adapters and cables are Marinco, but nobody sells an adapter for my situation.
I need a solution for the 50A/125V male on board, and the 2 x 30A/125V male cables from the pedestals.
I do have adapters, but none of them solve the problem.
- 50A/125V female to 30A/125V male
- 50A/125V female to 50A/125/250V male
- 50A/125/250V male to 2x30A/125V female (pig tale)
I hoped to find a female to female adapter for 50A, but it seems it does not exist. This would allow me to use my male 50A ends on my adapters.
What would you do in this case?
