My buddy Joe's Jenneau 42 has two electrical systems, the original 220VAC
from France that runs the fridge and battery charger, and a simple 115VAC
system to power some internal American outlets and the MarineAir A/C box.


How about installing an onboard transformer to bump up the voltage for
the European fridge and charger? Unless the draw is huge that could be
a cost effective solution that you can power off the existing North
American connection. If the orange #14 hasn't melted yet, then it
can't be too big a load.

That's also being submitted to the owner. We had a small transformer on
Lionheart, an Amel Sharki, for the fridge until we replaced it with a new
one. I've converted all its 220VAC outlets to 115 American, now.
