Run your heaters/dehumidifiers direct and bypass the boats electrical system.

Keep the boats internal 120 or 240 needs at low amperage.

If you only have one shore power receptacle available on the dock put a pigtail on it and run the heaters/dehumidifiers from an extension cord tied into power before it reaches the boat. All that power running through a vessels main electrical board can cause problems, especially on an older vessel.
