Why don't you just disconnect the European connector and install a 50

I've purchased a Marinco "reverse Y" for my 1993 Santorin and have a couple of questions. The boat has a 220 cord in its lazarette with a French? three pronged male fitting on the end using three straight,round contacts in a "v" arrangement. The plug is labeled 10 amps. Does any one have any recommendations for how to mate it with the "reverse Y" female plug? The 220 volt cord in the lazarette is not very long. I already have one 50' 110v Marinco cord. It seems to make sense to just buy another matching cord and connect the "reverse y" closer to the boat or even in the lazarette with two 110 cords. Does anyone have any advice on this? I've been told that ABYC standards require a breaker within just a few feet of where AC power enters the boat. Mine doesn't go through a breaker until it gets to the GFI breaker in my galley panel. Any thoughts on this?
