I am not disagreeing with you. I simply suggested that if he is not

familiar with how power is distributed at a marina that he should

consider hiring a licensed electrician to help him. If you want to

walk him through how to rewire his boat and service and be responsible

for whatever the outcome is, have at it. Not me.




exactly. AND...what does the marina say about this? If I was the owner of
the marina I'd definitely want it done right for liability protection.


Good point. I've had long term leased slips at four different marinas
over the years. They didn't care if you were Thomas A. Edison or George
Westinghouse. If you wanted to change or upgrade the power service at
the pedestal to your boat you hired an electrician or they hired one for
you.
