Hi Oliver, It is very simple to convert a European plug to a USA plug. Purchase a 50 amp USA plug similar to the one in the link below..
This can be purchased in almost any chandlery. Disassemble your European plug. You will find a brown, Blue, and Yellow/green wires.
When you open the USA 50 amp plug you will find 4 connection points. Red, White, Black, and Green. Connect the yellow green boat wire to the green terminal, connect either the blue or the brown to the black USA terminal, and connect the other wire to the to the red USA terminal. The white terminal in the USA plug is not used.
When this is assembled fill the hole in the in the USA plug with silicone as the 50 amp cables in the USA are much bigger. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hello,
we are now in the US and we need an adaptor to get shore power.
We have the 3 prong Euro plug and need an adapter for the 240 V US shore power.
Does anybody knows where I can get it or how I can link the 3 wires from the European plug to the 4 wires of the US shore power?
Thank you in advance
