I have that in mind, if not under control. The boat was originally
owned by a European living in Hong Kong and then Ireland, so it has
220 volt outlets and appliances throughout. The first American to own
it put in a small stepdown transformer and 115 v outlets and
unfortunately a 115 v Heart for battery charging.

Now, being a Tayana, I found additional American-style 115 outlets
buried in the cabnetry that are actually wired to 12v dc...go figure.
