What remote did you get?If you're looking at 1990's 450 Sundancers, the electrical systems came in 2 flavors:
two 30 amp standard shorepower connections or a single 50 amp with a cablemaster.
The panels appearance is different since the two 30 amp system shows two meters at the top of the panel, one for each of the 30 amp cords.
The cablemaster 50 amp single cordset has a single 220v meter at the top of the panel.
This is my experience and I have a love/hate relationship with the cablemaster.
Love it when docking (I added a remote - SWEET) hate it in the engine room.
I can't confirm but believe it's a safe assumption that both versions will provide for 220v service for the high draw items.
Perhaps someone can confirm this assumption.

this is a 4 function remote
My 450 came with fwd and aft thrusters
with this remote I am able to stand on the bow, swim platform or the dock and easily tie up.
I have it on a lanyard around my neck
Running the 50 amp shorepower is a breeze, as I can run the remote and walk across the dock with the cable.
I will eventually add the windlass as the 4th item on this remote.
At 66 years old and this device is part of my plan to be able to continue single handling the 450 for years to come.
BEST !
