I have never ever seen searay use 120 volt 50amp shorecords. Remember Searay's are built on the east coast, and the 120volt 50amp is a west coast...
Check the boat in person and see if it has a 30amp plug on the port side of the cockpit next to the other one. If it is not there, it may have...
I've never seen anyone in the yards down here use a liquid stripper and don't think it works well on bottom paint. Soda blasting the bottom paint...
Ok, the 2nd 30amp outlet has to be run from a different wire(s) and breaker then the 30amp that is on your pedestal. For example if they have an...

Vessel's insurance, just as if a FEDEX driver damages a company truck.
