Can I combine 2 110v 15 amp outlets on a generator to power a single 30 amp 110v outlet on my boat?

The short answer, no.
The long answer - A 15a 110v current tap can supply approximately 1650 watts. A 30a 110v load would assume a demand of 3300 watts. Splicing multiple cables together to supply this load would be an unsafe practice, as it would be possible for one or the other cables, or receptacles to become overloaded, creating a possible fire hazard.
Assuming the generator is rated above that load demand, it would be much safer to add a correctly rated outlet to the generator, and utilize a properly rated cord for connection.

You have 4 outlets in a bedroom only outputting 10 volts instead of 120 what could cause this?
Circuit breaker or fuse supplying those outlets may be tripped or blown. Wiring from fuse or breaker box may be open. If the outlets are all in the same group, then they are fed from a single set of interior wiring. All may be dead if a single wire is disconnected inside the outlet box. Shut off power, remove the cover plate from the outlet box, put at least one hand in your pocket, and LOOK around inside the outlet box for a disconnected or broken wire.

How many 15 amps sockets can i connect in a single circuit?
Circuit loading In Canada the code rule is, there shall be not more that 12 outlets on any 2 wire branch circuit. Such outlets shall be considered to be rated at not more that 1 amp per outlet. Where the connected load is known, the number of outlets may exceed 12 providing the load current does not exceed 80 % of the rating of the over current device protecting the circuit.

What is a dedicated outlet?
A dedicated outlet is a single circuit from a single or double pole breaker to a specific outlet or receptacle for a single specific device or appliance. An example of this would be a circuit for a refrigerator, microwave, dryer, range, etc..This is typically referred to as a "dedicated circuit". A dedicated circuit usually is supplying power to only one or perhaps two receptacles, such as a computer station. An example in your home under current code is your washing machine is required to be on a dedicated circuit. Dedicated receptacle circuits may be either 15 or 20 amp.A dedicated circuit is just what it sounds like. I'ts a circuit dedicated to one particular device. Most receptacle (you may call them outlet's) circuits will power several outlets. A dedicated circuit will power only one specific outlet or appliance. Some examples would be a refrigerator, a garbage disposal, or a microwave.

Can dimmers control switched receptacles intended for plug in lamps?
You can wire a dimmer into any circuit. The issue is where you do it for a specific outlet. The dimmer would just have to connect to a single outlet and not all outlets on the same circuit. The issue is getting a dimmer that is compatible with the device you are dimming. Some lighting requires special dimmers.

How are the outlets on a circuit in a house wired together?
Assume a single breaker controlling a number of outlets. The black wire is HOT, the white wire is Neutral and the green or bare wire is Ground. The wires and outlets should match the rating of the breaker in Amps. Typically 15 A for 14 Gauge wire. (I prefer 20A outlets and 12 gauge wire). You must calculate the expected load at each outlet. The electric code may be different in each locale, but 8 to 10 outlets on a circuit might be typical for general usage. That is over an amp per outlet. If you had a situation where you knew you would be plugging in a high amp device liek an electric heater you might only have 1 outlet on circuit. You wire the outlets in a circuit in parallel and make certain each is wired identically. The Black wire should always be on the copper colored screw and the white on silver screw and the ground on the green screw. For a couple of bucks you can buy an outlet tester. It is usually yellow with a three prong plug and lights that tell you if an outlet is wired correctly with power turned on. The lights identify problems based on which lights are lit.
