110 vs 220 electric


Here is my problem. I have a 2000 Voyager 450. My outgoing power cord is a 125/250 50 amp for the last three years I have been plugged into a shore power of the same with no problems. This is only one cord, I do not have multiple inlets.

I am trying to move to a new slip in the same marina. The current shore power is 125 50 amp plug. They will not upgrade the plug saying the dock does not have enough capacity to handle the power the boat is wired for.

We want the slip and I was advised that all systems should work expect for ac systems. So I purchased a $379 adapter, and the panel shows nothing. All breakers are on, but the panel is black. If I switch to generator all is normal, showing 240 volts in and all systems work.

If I shut off and try to go to shore power I get no reading coming in.

Repair shops want to rip my panel out saying it must have a short. Will this boat ONLY run on 250 volts shore power? shouldn't 110 at least register on the meter?

I want the slip so would like to find a way to work this out.

thanks for help
