T&T: 30 amp service vs. 50 amp service

SNIP" 
It seems like that is what most people are assuming, that two thirties 
equals a sixty. But that's not how it works. It's the size of the breaker at 
the service panel, and the wiring to that point that determines service 
size.  It wouldn't matter if you had ten 30 amp services hooked to your 
boat, it would still be a thirty amp service, because that is what each 
individual circuit is rated for." Bob England

OK I have a 125V breaker input and a 240 breaker input choice on my boat
electrical service panel - surely the breaker recognises the 50A line that is
plugged into my boat and which is coming from the two 30A ones at the "Y"  as a
240 no? Which means that my breaker is 50A.

Much more interesting than counting Microns....
