No worries.
The 32 amp feed is a substantial supply but you do still need to keep an eye on current usage. You will very soon know how much everything uses. Our home berth is 32 amp and I’ve never needed more.
Be aware that when the Air Con units kick in they draw heavily for a short while.
If you divide your generator KW by 250 that will tell you how many amps it provides. In our case 17KW is about 70 amps if you get stuck !

I’m afraid I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say or be pedantic about. The onboard generators are measured in kilowatts. In our case it’s 17 kilowatts. I was trying to put that into the context of shore power which is measured in Amps.Pedant mode
It's generator W not Kw
Pedant mode/
The takeaway being that if all else fails run your generator which will most likely have a greater capacity than the shore power.

I suspect the point is that 17 divided by 250 is 0.068 which isn't very many amps.
17000 divided by 250 is 68amps.

Correct except its 230 volt which is more ampsI suspect the point is that 17 divided by 250 is 0.068 which isn't very many amps.
17000 divided by 250 is 68amps.

I was simply using the numbers stated in #142.
230 vs 250 isn't as big an error as 17 vs 17,000.

Multiple Kw by 3 is close enough to determine amps on 240 volt.

You said divide Kw by 250, which is incorrect, it should be divide watts by volts.

But it isn't close.
In the 17Kw example from Henry, it's 17000 / 230 = 73.91
Whereas 17 * 3 = 51

Ah, I see. I had assumed that was obvious as per my circa 70 amps figure but clearly not. Well at least there’s no doubt now.I suspect the point is that 17 divided by 250 is 0.068 which isn't very many amps.
17000 divided by 250 is 68amps.
I’ll leave you guys to it.

Looking good! Not nearly enough scatter cushions a la @jfm thoughNew cockpit upholstery arrived last night. Thanks to Martin of MJM Boats of Essex. I went for the Newer V50 Style and it’s came out brilliant. More cushions coming I’ve heard.

Martin/MJM = great company/team.
What is the exact upholstery fabric? Looks like Silvertex "ice" but that's a bit of a guess.

Silvertex White. Great comms throughout the order. Took 4 weeks to get done, busy company. Worth the wait though. He re-foamed an interior cushion as well for us. The interior saloon seat cushion nearest the patio tends to get used a lot with people sitting on the edge putting on shoes etc so had a bit of a sag. That looks great now as well.Very nice

I never did manage to get carpets done, so that’s next on the list.
Found a great ex lang & potter chap that’s quoting for new carpets. He does all Princess warranty works so comes recommended.
Ordered a few new blinds as well that are all salty & starting to look a bit tired. They are on a 6-8 week delivery from ASAP (Dometic/Oceanair).
And last for now, had to order a new set of bathing platform locator pieces from Aquamare. Should get them next week and fit next weekend. Easy job to do I hope!

Thats the carpet now ordered (Jacaranda Carpets Rampur Pearl) and the fitter is going to fit in two weeks time.
New fenders (8), with spliced fender lines and new mooring ropes ordered and out for delivery this week.
Once these last bits are done, I'm going to slow down and start enjoying the boat. The problem with all this is that more work keeps getting added to the list and you get a point of burning out!
