    I doubt that a reasonably priced, go anywhere, do everything, shore power
    conversion system is available. Most people use multiple tap transformers
    for voltage conversion, and do nothing for frequency conversion. Check the
    nameplates on your AC motors, etc., they may say 50 - 60 HZ, meaning they
    were designed for both.
