I would not consider placing a 50amp shore power receptacle on the exterior
of my boat with wire rated at 30amps behind it. If the boat burned in the
future I'd no doubt be liable for violating the wiring specifications.
Perhaps if I retrofitted everything from the receptacle to the inverter I'd
be ok, but that's more work than keeping the connectors bright and shiny.
This sounds like a case of the cure being worse than the disease. Just my
humble opinion.
