You will be fine,115 is a nominal figure. Voltage is anywhere from 110v to 120v. http://www.quick220.com/220_about_voltages.htm

Make sure you measure the inside of niche in aft cabin to make sure a 10K btu will fit. My 6500 just about fit.

If you have a vinyl cover on the back of the head, you will have to have a solid piece made with the return air and filter for that space. Very easy.
Some folks install in a cabinet but under the head sink gets it all out of the way with less ducting.

Just a few days ago on the Boat US forums I answered a question from someone who said that their new marina had no 30a power, just 110 volt. So there are people who understand less about electricity.

10,000 BTUs should keep your boat frigid! I know our unit keeps things down below nice and cool and I believe its 6000.

totally what i was thinking guys, go big or go home! Actually the 10,000 btu was a winter sale the 6500 btu was actually more for this time of year. So we are excited for a cool cabin this summer. Normally we will get to the boat and open up the canvas and crack open an oven (the cabin) . the kids enter and immediatley start to complain whine and ruin the start of a great boating weekend, meanwhile im wrestling a hatch air conditioner onto the bow asap to keep tempers at a standstiil . Only to have to wrestle it off an hour or two later when we take off for the beach. Guess what i get to do when we get back from the beach. This will be the greatest upgrade yet!!
