    It seems like that is what most people are assuming, that two thirties
    equals a sixty. But that's not how it works. It's the size of the breaker at
    the service panel, and the wiring to that point that determines service
    size. It wouldn't matter if you had ten 30 amp services hooked to your
    boat, it would still be a thirty amp service, because that is what each
    individual circuit is rated for." Bob England

    OK I have a 125V breaker input and a 240 breaker input choice on my boat
    electrical service panel - surely the breaker recognises the 50A line that is
    plugged into my boat and which is coming from the two 30A ones at the "Y" as a
    240 no? Which means that my breaker is 50A.

    Much more interesting than counting Microns....
