How do you power at AYC? If you can use 2 30 amps, then its not any different. Basically you need a 50/125 to two 30a adapter which I have a extra one.

2 30s with a smart reverse Y (of which I have a second that I travel with just in case).

The 208V (120 degress out of phase) will NOT power up my boat.

If I can borrow a second 'watch hill' adapter and I can find two stantions on different phases I think I can make it work.

Otherwise I will just run the genny...no different than Kismet.

sadly were not allowed to use our gensets in watch hill. Another park service regulation. Even in the day slips . They really bust balls . With the renovation they may have got smart and did away with old style electrical outlets once and for all.. But who knows .

They did not...the builder didnt want to file the necessary paperwork to update the wiring.

Unless you get on my boat to feel for vibrations you would never know if my gen is on or off so I guess I will take my chances for a few hours each day to charge my batteries.
 
Anyone heading there, please post an update on it. I made a res for July 4 if they can give me a corner. With the outboards, I'm not going otherwise.

Planning to sell my Y adapter at end of season or when I sell my NY condo. Whichever comes first.

The smart reverse Y from your boat to 2 30 amp cords with the adapters should work. My friend has 2 30 amp receptacles at his dock that he used for the 2 30 amp inlets on his old 420.
He just got a 480 Sundancer a week or so ago with a single 50/250 and he got power to his boat with a smart reverse Y on the boat side and 2 30 amp cords to the 2 receptacles on his dock.
Your bigger problem may be finding an unused receptacle for the second cord.
