It is highly recommended that dedicated 120 volt 20 amp GFCI power
outlets be provided on marina docks for use by maintenance staff. Such
dedicated outlets should be provided at logical locations for this
purpose, and are required by the NEC to be equipped with GFCIs."


They care about the maintenance staff, whos family would probably sue their
asses over the death of their husbands/fathers, but don't give a **** if
some boater gets zapped from a faulty appliance inside his boat he can't
sue them about.

How nice, eh?
