Thank you but I still cant find a adapter that has dock side 20 male locking end to 30 amp 3 prong straight female to boat. Everything I found is opposite 30 dock to 20 boat. Thanks again

Ask around the marina for suggestions

What you're describing I've never seen.... Typically it's a straight 3 prong outlet 20A at the dock and a round 30A plug from the boat...

It is on the page link above if I understand correctly. Here is another link for what you are asking for.

It says right in the link "20a-male-lock-30a-female-lock"

They should have told me at marina that they have 20 amp at dock. My boat is 30 amp system. I don't think a adapter will help. Not enough shore power for my boat. Thank you for help.

Make your own adapter, and limit what you turn on.

I was afraid of that. This means I won't be able to use ac and refridge. Not happy with marina, should have told me. Thanks

Your AC and electric stove will probably be the biggest draw. The rest of the stuff doesn’t really draw all that much. The 20 amp service should be fine for either one individually. If you shut the AC on your 268 when using the electric stove you should be okay even if you have the fridge and battery charger running.

Thank all for your greatly appreciated help.

If you
have this, its the wrong one

Even with 2 AC units running and the water heater going we still don't go over 20 amps...

This is true.

Google Marinco S 20-30. That’s the one you need.

I don't know why my boats (88 sundancer 268) manual says it's a 30 amp system. Yet it has a standard 3 prong end on boat cord. I just got this boat. Something doesn't make sense. Does a 30 amp boat ever use that type of cord?

At this point I have to go with, "someone swapped it out" for whatever reason. You likely need to put it back to standard 30 amp.
