Great vid! Countless lives have been saved by boaters watching and learning from your instructional videos. Boating world is lucky to have your dedication to selfishly advancing marine knowledge!
Kudos on packing so much information into the video and doing so in a logical incremental way. The 208v issue has bitten me before. As you call out, even if your 240v equipment is rated to work "ok" with 208, adding a 120/240v shore power transformer will cause issues for your 120v equipment since it will then get 104v where without the transformer it would get the proper 120v. One note I wanted to add for anyone who may be in this situation with a non-boosting transformer is that it is possible to install a separate relatively small and relatively inexpensive boost/buck transformer before the main transformer. That, of course, introduces additional complications versus a transformer with boost capability built in.
Marc, the 208/104 issue is one that is not well understood, even in the industry, I've written and lectured about it many times but I still encounter builders installing non-boosting transformers.
