    You might find a ready made Y splitter with a 100A male plug to be connected to the dock socket on one end, and 2x50A female plugs on the other.
    But if you really need a Y adaptor working the other way round, you must build it yourself, and at your own risk, because it's a potentially deadly device.

    Yep.
    I've had to build them when needed. That 100 amp end not cheap.
    Hopefully single phase service on the dock.

    They sell smart ones that are not deadly. Anyways, this is a Wanted To Buy posting, not one looking for info. Dock is single phase, boat has oddly a single 125v 30 amp inlet, and then has 2- 100 amp inlets......has an Atlas converter.

    I'm looking for a used one, if possible, before I buy a new one on Monday or Tuesday. Sailorman had one checked out by Ward's Marine Electric that they sold 10 minutes before I called them today.

    Somewhere I got confused. ASAP must mean something else.
    Sorry I responded incorrectly.

    As Soon As Possible. Hubbel makes a reverse Y (smart) that I am looking for, or similar. A YQ100plus is the model name. I figured someone on here might have one laying around as they're something you usually have, but rarely use, and don't always give with the boat when it sells. I just offloaded a yacht from Turkey yesterday and got docked at 4pm and there isn't one, nor the extra shorepower cables etc. If not, my wholesaler has 1 in stock and they open on Monday.

    Well, apologies if I was trying to help... :confused:
    But on which basis are you saying that the dock is single phase?
    Most marinas use 3 phase wires also inside single phase docks, i order to balance the load.
    And there's no way to tell till you try a plain vanilla Y splitter, possibly bridging two different phases with a non-smart Y splitter.
    In which case, I have two words for you: good luck.

    PS: the Hubbell thing is in another league, of course.
    But based on your OP, I understood that you weren't expecting to fork out 4 thousands bucks or so...

    Another option is to try Strike Marine Salvage. Good guys there. If you see something make an offer. Even better prices for cash.

    The dock is at a house that only has single phase electric, therefore I am 100% positive it is single phase.

    Anyways, the Yacht Broker found one through a friend.

    NautiTech in ft Lauderdale has started making them. Much cheaper than usual. We tried a used one at sailorman and it didn’t work.

    The boat has an Atlas so they switched the cable inputsback to 50 amps to match the dock instead. Which is what it had initially before it went to Turkey and someone switched it to 100 amp plugs.
