FWIW.... GFCI's in a marine environment can be a real nuisance when
they trip due to small leakage currents caused by humidity and salt
etc. They are generally not required by electrical code on shore power
outlets and in RV parks. On board one in each AC branch circuit is
adequate as a string of outlets can be run off and be protected by one
GFCI.

Hello Edd,
In one of my former lives I worked as a Journeyman Construction &
Maintenance Electrician. One of those Tradesman guys.
I really don't think there is such a thing as a marine GFI. Just buy
brand some name GFI's and install them. They may not last more than
8 or 10 years in that environment but they're relatively cheap so no
great loss.
On the other hand, if you do want to spend money, the GFCI's on pages
20 and 21 of this Hubbell Brochure are some of the best out there:

I wouldn't bother with the tamper resistant ones, I find that feature
annoying.

Listers,
It looks like the Enterprise's AC system has suffered some
corrosion over the winter and I'm thinking of doing a bit of an
overhaul, including replacing some of the outlets on board with
GFI ones that will stand up to a marine environment.
Anyone have a recommendation on the best outlets to buy? Looks
like Defender and West Marine don't sell any. Links would be
appreciated.
All the best,
Edd
