Do I need two 30 amp Shore Power Cables or one?
I just bought a Carver 3207 Aft and it has two connectors for 30 amp cables. I've seen pics of people with 3207's running one 30 amp cable and I've seen pics with 2. I bought it at auction so I don't have any power right now and was wondering what I need to run, 1 or 2? AND what's the difference. Two sides of the panel or something? I know my old 74 F44 Trojan had two separate sides of the 110v panel

If you don't want to run the ac then leave it unplugged if noting else is on that main breaker.

Oh Ok, that's good to know. I will need two then. We need A/C down here. It's HOT!

Re: Do I need two 30 amp Shore Power Cables or one?
I recently purchased a 2001 350 Mariner. It has two 30 amp inputs. The slip I have leased only has one 30 amp receptacle. Some of my dock mates say just get a 30/30 splitter to connect with and others are recommending having the marina install a second receptacle. I am leaning toward the second receptacle.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Have them install a second 30 amp circuit.
