I hope I can get an answer here. I purchased the above boat late last year. Few weeks ago I noticed no shore power indicated on my main. Went to the dock side hook up and found the female dockside receptacle one leg showing burn. On my shore power the same leg showed burn spot also. When I plugged into another box, no problem. Marina sent electrician out and replaced the dock side plu. The main is an old style. 30amp. Twist but ship side does not really lock, kinda hangs and NOT weather proof.
Here is a question. My boat has 2 separate AC/heat units. Larger forward, smaller aft. I believe each draws 10amps on start up. Add to it the larger fridge, separate Ice maker, micro wave, electric stove, built in vacuum, and the list goes on.
The boat has 2 boatside outlets. I have been using a splitter at the boat 2 into 1. Then on the the dockside power with the 1.
I read the books Sea Ray has for this boat new. It gives no advice as to if I need 2 separate power cords to to at the dock or is it okay to go 2 into 1? Did my 2 into 1 burn the receptacle or just crappy plug at dock?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I do appreciate.
