2008 310 sundancer A/C operation ?

[31sundancer]

I just purchased this boat and I was speaking to a friend about the a/c operation and he said I need two shore power cords plugged into it for it to work. I only have one shore power inlet plug on the back ?? Will the a/c work with one cord plugged in or do I need something else ? How many amp cord do I need ?

You only have one 30amp plug in your boat or only one cord? I have a slightly older model, but I have two plugs on the boat. I use one 30amp cord and then have it go to a splitter to plug into each of the receptacles on the boat.

Yes, I only have one 30 amp plug on the back of my boat .

You only need one but when running your AC you need to be sure if other items are running that they will not overload the circuit and trip the breaker. I know when I ran my AC and electric BBQ at the same time it would trip the breaker.

Perfect so a standard marnico 30amp cord will run my a/c when staying overnight at metro beach or other ports as long as other accessories are off?

I am able to run everything off the 30amp, but I do not have the cockpit grille. What a cool feature! I do run AC, Fridge, cockpit freezer, and microwave.
