Default Docking this summer, Galvanic corrosion - Should i be concerned?

just bought a 1990 fountain 36 fever (38), i have a dock space that is equipped with shore power but i have no shore power hook up on my boat (only the dryer outlet/battery jumper under the seat)

Basically i want to know if this set up will be OK or if there are any other price comparable options .......

i planned to get a 120v converter and plug in my 120v battery maintainer (2 prong 1.5 amps) and connect it to my batteries. I just need a safe way to keep my batteries full after long days of playing music and being out on the water.

Also with this set up shore i be concerned with the galvanic corrosion? I didn't think i would need to get a galvanic isolator becasue i will only have "positive" and "neg" terminals hooked up from my 1.5 amp battery tender..... No ground wrie.


Should i still invest and or replace (does my boat have them already?) be concerned with the sacrificial anodes?

Thanks for the help. Also any suggestions on a fairly priced 220v -120v converter from shore power?
