Hello All
Our 1997 400 sedan bridge has 2 30 amp input receptacles.
Currently this is supplied buy a single 30 amp cord with a splitter at the boat supplying 110 ac to both receptacles on the same phase. This puts a large load on the single 30 amp cord and connection often times these are warm to the touch.
Is it possible to run a 50 amp cord to the boat that splits into 2 30 amp cords that plug into the boat.
My concern is that there will be 220 vac potential on the boat that is currently not present
The 2 amperage meters are never displaying the same current in the panel so I can assume that these two circuits are not interconnected.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank You
