Russ,
you do not say what you have for shore power and loads but I can tell
you from personal experience that 110/60 Hz machines for the most
part will not have a problem with 110/50 Hz power.
Microwaves may. Some do. Some do not.
A 240 V/ 60 Hz machine (dryer, washer) may have a problem with the 50
Hz.
The simplest thing to buy is a transformer. An Isolation transformer
with multiple taps os probably the best, more marine approved, and
elegant solution.
Or, a large (6 Kw?) transformer rain protected sitting on the dock or
your cockpit can also work.
Need more info though to really help out.

Guys, Preparing for my first long term ( 1year) cruise through the
Caribbean. Although I have a generator and solar panels I am
wondering how you all cope with the 230v/50Hz electricity??? I have a
feeling that my wife is going to prefer tying up rather than being on
the hook and running the genset is not going to be a good option.
Anyone bought a 230/50 inverter/charger or a unit for both 50/60 Hz
???? Other advice?? Thanks Russ Davignon ASCENSION
