My GFCIs trip when tested on inverter power. Grounding and inverters is a complicated subject. "Real" marine certified inverters with internal cut-over switches will work one way and the various cheap consumer units not intended to be hardwired could work any possible way. Joe DB Coquina -

Most inverters sold now (I know, not all) are isolated from the ground, and should NOT have one side grounded, but the new GFCIs are not dependent on the existence of an earth ground. It is legal to install 3 pronged GFCI receptacles in older houses without separate ground wires where I live, b

Just a bit more specifics on the GFCI. For it to be effective,  it had to be the first outlet on the power line from the breaker, and all the outlets after it are then protected by it.  No need for multiple GFCIs on a single breaker.  As for USB-GFCI combos,  I haven't seen one yes,  but I h

My old 29mk1 was setup with one GFCI protecting all outlets. Have you verified that the head outlet is separate by tripping the GFCI and seeing if there is still power? On another note, they now have combination USB-120VAC outlets. Does anyone know if it comes in a GFCI version? - Paul E

“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-Horizo

The biggest difference I’ve seen is price; put the word “marine” or “boat” on anything and the cost goes up. 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 t
