I have recently acquired a 1985 Cherubini Raider 33 which is not
fitted for shore power. I need guidance on the best choice of shore
power inlet types to install.

I would also appreciate any information about the boat itself. It was
built in Florida in 1985 - original name was MUSIC which was later
changed to KOKOMO. It appears to be a tall rig model, but I have no
specs. Nor do I know the draft. Any info or referrals would be greatly
appreciated.



Sailboats in that size range will typically be fitted with a single 30
amp Marinco (or equivalent) inlet. If you want to have air
conditioning installed that would usually mandate an additional 30 amp
inlet. I'd recommend getting the installation done by a certified
marine electrician since shore power issues are a frequent cause of
boat fires.

Wayne's advice is well meant, but from what I've seen so far of marine
services, I'd do it myself.
