“Weatherproof” is the outlet box and cover, not the actual GFCI outlet. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Hubbell-Bell-5180-0-Horizontal-Weatherproof/dp/B000C14XKA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1443019048&sr=8-5&keywords=weatherproof+outlet+cover http://www.amazon.com/Hubbell-Bell-5101-1-Horizontal-Weatherproof/dp/B000BVZAX0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1443019102&sr=8-3&keywords=weatherproof+outlet+cover+gfci
I used these for my outlets in the v-berth because spay and rain coming in the hatch can possibly get on the outlets. You would want these for your head for general safety and taking a shower in there if you ever do.

Confirmed my thoughts and what information I had found online. I also had another survey situation with the wire nuts being a no-no so I know about that one already.

As with the others, I’ve had good luck with a good GFCI from Home Depot; you may need to put a bigger back-box in, though, as they don’t wire too well into standard electrical boxes as they’re so big. Also, NO WIRE NUTS!!! And you should use locking fork terminals that snap over the screws, rather than try to wrap the wire around and tighten the screw (that doesn't satisfy the ABYC standards): http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/02650968?src=pla&cid=PLA-Google-PLA+-+Test&CS_003=7867724&CS_010=02650968 Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI
