Certain receptacles on your boat contain Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupters (GFCI). The GFCI measures both
the amount of current flowing to the receptacle and the
amount of current returning from the receptacle, then
compares the two values. If the values are not the same,
the GFCI instantly trips, shutting off power to the
receptacle.
When someone receives an electrical shock through a
GFCI receptacle, the current flowing to the receptacle
continues flowing through the person’s body and into
any grounded object the person is touching or standing
on. Thus, the current does not return from the recep-
tacle through the appropriate wire. The GFCI “sees”
this difference in current and shuts off power to the
receptacle. This limits the amount of time the person is
being shocked to a brief moment, which can reduce the
amount of injury to the person.
Any electrical shock from the AC electrical system,
even through a GFCI receptacle, can cause death or
serious injury. Always seek immediate medical atten-
tion after receiving such a shock.
GFCI Receptacle Locations
Three GFCI receptacles are installed on your boat. One
is located in the galley above the range and protects the
receptacles in the port side salon and forward state-
room. Another GFCI receptacle is located in the forward
head and protects the receptacles there, in the star-
board salon and dinette, and in the aft head and state-
room. The third GFCI receptacle is located in a locker
below the TV in the aft stateroom and protects the TV
and aft deck icemaker.
Testing GFCI Receptacles
The GFCI receptacles are identified by Test and Reset
buttons located between the receptacles’ two outlets.
