Although having the shore side electrical connectors located where they are may not be the best for corrosion, I find the cord handler (Glendenning) to be a great asset. Handling a 50amp cord when you are tired from a trip or bad weather is not fun. I like flipping a switch and magic happens. 

Since we were RVers as well for many years, I have had to wrestle with that many times. Handling a 50 amp cordset is a pain after awhile. Fixing the Glendenning should be fairly simple. I think you will regret changing it. IMHO.

We do not have that breaker and don't have the y-valve.  However, the information you shared tells me how I will set it up when we get the boat pulled.

As an fyi - our Glendinning cable master is struggling to retrieve the 50 amp line.  I've decided to take that out and have a standard connection put in.  It simplifies the boat, removes a point of failure, and for 90% of our boat use, it means just unplug and leave it at the dock.  For longer trips, I can coil it up by and and put it in the engine room or the trunk.
