03 396 Shore Power Question


Ok, I have not messed with the shore power setup since I bought my boat but am now looking at it and finding myself asking "WHY?" and "I HAVE to be able to simplify this somehow"

Current Setup from the dock to the boat:

(Dock side) Single 50A outlet -->
(Y Adapter) 50A to (2) 30A lines -->
(Each line then has a Line Adapter at the end) 30A to 50A --> Into boat

Seems like all 396's of my year have twin 50A lines into the boat.

I see so many bigger boats simply have a single 50A line come out and plug in and it seems so elegant... then there is me, Lugging out 80 adapters, piles of shore power lines, wires hanging everywhere.

Is there something I'm missing? is there a simpler way? What other 396'ers do out there? Please help me simplify!
