How difficult is it to add shore power hook-up to a 257 Advance? Are there authorized installers in the Great Lakes (NW Ohio?) area?
 
I added shore power to 265 Express -

I have three banks:

One bank is two batteries in parrell for starting starboard motor and powering house ammenties (fridge, ect)
Second bank is for port motor
Third bank is isolated spare

I went will ProTech 1230i charger -

I installed it myself - connected it to s shore power plug - ran all dedicated cables to each bank -

There is a power distrubution panel (circuit panel) between the shore power connection and the charger -

It works great - I leave the DC fridge on all the time -
