• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

New marina only has 50 amp power. *I am running single 30 amp. *I need an adapter to plug my 30 amp shore power chord into their 50 amp panel. *I have a single 50 to twin 30 splitter but I just need a single! *:) *If anyone has one laying around they don't need and want to sell let me know! *:)
 
Your existing splitter does just what you need , best of all you can try either leg (plug) and dee which has the highest voltage.

Marinas will frequently have more boats on the Black leg than the red leg , so the voltage will be higher if you get on the less used leg.

A big difference with air cond requiring OK voltage to start.
 
so you'd just use the existing splitter I have even though one leg of the 30 amp will be left open/unplugged?

Worst case is some desperate power hog plugs in and pops your pole breaker.

Or a curious kid sticks a butter knife in it!! *Seems a little risky to me to use my 2 to 1 splitter with one leg hanging around loose/unused but still hot!
 
The last splitter I bought came with a cover on one of the legs, a round piece of plastic or hard rubber, covering the outlet and*held in place by the screw on ring. could be removed if someone really wanted to stick something in there but not accidentally by a small child. that was a Marinco splitter.

The one on the boat next to me has a piece of thin piece*starboard cut in a circle that the locking ring holds in place on the unused leg.* Keep water, dirt and kids out.

Woodsong,
I am pretty sure I have the one you are asking for on the boat as a spare. My 50 amp to twin 30's had one prong overheat about two weeks ago and damaged a socket. I got a new 30 amp cord and eliminated the Y at our home slip. I will need to replace it for future traveling.
Having said all of that, if your splitter is in good condition and you are interested- I would send you the one you want and pay you fair money for The difference on your splitter. I need a 50 amp 125/250 volt male to twin 30 amp female. Please PM if you are interested:)
