2 x 32a supplies into my fusebox on boat.

I'm a novice but willing to learn. Go easy on me! re above. I have upper and lower rooms. Should I run two socket circuits or one? Total double sockets I have is 20. Boat is 15m long, 4m wide.

i would run 2 ciruits, then if you lose a circuit due to a fault, the other one is still in service.

What will you be using on your boat? The TV, DVD player, phone chargers, kettle etc? or several of grannies old three bar heaters?

thanks telectrix. advice appreciated. Common sense when I think about it. I was off at school the daythey did common sense ? my '2nd' circuit upstairs would have at least 15m of cable from fusebox before 1st socket and the same back to the fusebox after last socket but I guess that's OK.

shoud be fine, but consider the loads on the circuit and decide if a 20A radial would do the job.

Hi there I plan to put underfloor heating on one supply which calculates at a maximum output of 23 amps and on the other I was going to put the oven and shower. Plus electric sockets but none of granny's heaters!

that's some big ufh mat @23A. geerally ufh mats are < 1A/sq.m

What kind of shower?

Your heating load appears to be 5.3kW. Loads of this size should have their own circuits. If the shower is electrically heated it will need its own too (not for power shower pumps fed with hot water)

What is the rating of your shoreline?
What is your power source when off the shoreline or are you static?

You might want to rethink your design.

Can you list what your expected loads are by wattage and expected usage?
