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

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

Far as I can tell, there is no difference between a marine GFCI and a dryland one. I changed the first outlet in the port circuit to a GFCI and that protects all the outlets downstream from it, giving me a protected outlet in the galley as well as the head. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III V

So if on a survey it was noted that the 120V receptacle in the head is not a GFCI (as this was not required during original construction) and the recommendation is to change it to a GFCI outlet as per ABYC standards. Is it enough to change just the one receptacle and if so what is the difference be

Edd, It is now an ABYC requirement for all new boats, and surveyors will note their presence/absence on resale. An insurer might require them going forward. Necessary? No. My boat sails well without them! Heck, I remember when seat belts were not required in cars! Joel On Tue, Apr 1, 2014

Edd, Look at the receptacle. It should have two pairs of hot/common connections and one ground. One pair will be labeled "Line" and one pair "Load". The "Load" connections are protected. The correct wiring should be from your supply (breaker) to the pair marked "Line". Downstream receptacles
