A 125V 30 amp Male to 125/250V Female Pigtail This won't do what you think in North America, instead it will do something dangerous in one way, and not do anything at all in another.
The 125V 30 amp Male plugs into the power source and will have three wires in it, Black (Hot, providing 125 volts referenced to both neutral and to Ground), White (Neutral, 0 volts referenced to ground) and Green (Ground). The 125/250V Female Pigtail will have four wires, Black (Hot, providing 125 volts referenced to both neutral and to Ground), Red (also Hot, providing 125 volts referenced to both neutral and to Ground and 250 volts referenced to the Black, but 180 degrees out of phase with the black, because it is tapped off the opposite end of the transformer, with the neutral tapped at the halfway point, halfway between red and black), White (Neutral, 0 volts referenced to ground) and Green (Ground). So look at the source, it only has 125 volts to start with so you aren't going to get more than that. If you connect the red and black in the female, to the black in the male (i.e. bring two legs of the same 125 Volts into a 250 volt system) you will get 0 volts in any 250 volt circuit on your boat. The 110 volt circuits on your boat will generally do what you expect, and deliver 110 volts. Depending on exactly how your boat is wired, you may end up with more current in some of the neutrals on your boat that they are sized to carry, so may create a fire risk.
