Joe,
I believe West Marine sell a 30 amp to 20 amp (or 15) converter---If not, it is easy to make one. The "HOT" wire is the smaller of the two slots on the plug. Ground is of course the slotted/hook portion on the 30 Amp and is the round hole on the 'monkey' 15 Amp end. One of the major problems I have run into when using marine power is the many WRONG wire 'options' I have found at marine power outlets--our 320 has a GREEN/RED light that indicates when the marine wires are backward or worse--ground/hot reversals.
Good luck, Ken

Anyone ever make a 30amp snap plug that will plug into the stern but
only deliver 15 amps 110 v of power.
I want to do the conversion so while the boat is on the hard I can
plug in and power the battery charger.
I am just not sure which leg to make hot on the 30amp plug.
Any suggestions ideas.
Thanks
Joe
