Les,

One thing I'd suggest, buy some raw parts that will allow you to fabricate
the connectors you will need.  I recently purchased two replacement 30 amp
shore power ends and receptacles because mine were burning, dangerously!  I
was LUCKY to find them in Costa Rica.  South of PV it's been just about
impossible to get anything boat specific.  When a diver dropped a keel
cooler zinc bolt in the water I had to fabricate one from some threaded
stock and two nuts.  In Panama I hope to be able to get Monel material to
replace the stainless I used.  Anyway, there are charts that show the power
by island I believe, some quick googling should show it, if I get a chance
I'll look.  Take care, when do you anticipate canal transit?  Reported
delays are for N to S yachts only, S to N are transiting in 4 to 10 days.
