being that my boat was made in the US it runs a 110v shore power sytem. Can i just swap the sockets to the 240v ones i need and still use the existing wiring. i really only want to do this to make it better for selling here as i never go to the marinas any more.
thanks Andy

Australians use 60 htz and so need products that can do it here. I think the US$ may skyrocket here

Lovely website Jack Tyler’s (s/v “Whoosh”), great info for USA --> Eur!

I love the amount of work that has gone into it! Just sensational stuff! Just about the read the page on AIS.
