Ronald ,
Better to use watts to decide how much energy your getting to the boat.
30amps X 110 = 3300 watts and compare to 30 amps X 220 =6600 watts. Twice
as much. Its easier when you think watts.
For the listees: Ron and my Hat LRCs have a 30-110v input and a 50-240v
input. The boats have transformers so that 240v and 110v appliances can
work off either input. But with 3 A/C units an electric galley and water
heater, well its an electric boat and 3000 watts won't do it.
I'm not that knowledgeable on how the 220 volts get wired from two 110s.
But I can tell you that on my trip up the ICW and at my current marina I
have been faced with using only 30 amp shore power. Others on the list seem
to be luckier. But when its 95 degree 95 percent humidity Skooch needs her
6600 watts (provided by the 2X30 to 220v splitter) to keep my rum cold.
