Shore Power for 250VAC


Mike

Recommended Posts

Here's something I discovered while connecting my Navigator 4800 to my marina.

Marina: My marina has supply for 50A/125VAC.  See below for the shore power port.  Notice how it only has a single point where the connector angles outward.  This is a 125VA supply.

Boat:  My boat has port and cable for 50A/250VAC.  See below.  Notice this has two doglegs sticking out (and of course the labeling).

In order for me to get this to function, I purchased the following Marinco adapter from Fisheries.

I also discovered that power will be supplied to both bus bars on the panel.  However, any device requiring 250VAC will not function.  Any loads on the panel will need to be "managed" as to not trip the breaker.  Most stock appliances on the Navigators are 125VAC (including the clothes dryer).  But any aftermarket devices with this power requirement will need to be considered.

Thank you to the Navigator Owners Club for all the help!
