I have a 26 foot StarCraft that's been totally rebuilt, that is except for the stern. It has the normal 2X 3/4" plywood, but its a high and wide boat so that may be slightly under sized for this boat. Its 9' -6" wide and at least 4' 6" from keel to rail.

The main breaker is a 30 amp just like I want, but it has 4 connections on...

Is there an actual difference, and how, 10amps ac is 10 amps ac no matter where it is. I understand the grounds and neutrals are always kept separate right back to the plug, but that has nothing to do with the...
