Yes, gas engines.
The AC feeds from that receptacle to the adjacent battery charger. Within the ignition-protected charger there is a terminal strip where the wiring connects.
The charger is wide-open to fumes. It is drip-proof only.
There is no spark at the receptacle, within the receptacle box or at the charger terminal strip unless the connection is made or broken while power is applied.
This is safe in my application.
Perhaps you could explain the differences in wiring for us.
I used metalic screw down splicer /reducers which make for a very strong connection and heat wrap the entire assembly ,properly strain relieve the conductor into the work box and then schmooky it .I used silicone.It makes for a water /vapor tight instal and quite safe. By the way , I think most companies void their warranty as soon as the factory plug is cut,I am not sure about Boatsafe but I cut mine none the less.
What is wrong with medium-rare steaks ?
Winterize your motors and sell the BoatSafe heater and clean the water spots off.I think we are going to have a COLD winter.Remember your marina has lost electric more than I care to remember.You are 90 miles away cold as hell then what are you going to do .Call Wayne.March is coming then Barack Hussein Obama will take care of all your problems with his magic dust.
What generator automatically kicks on.What is talking about Gary!!!!!If the marina loses power, our generator automatically kicks on. No worries.
Yes my company sells UPS but how long do you think one would last.Winterize your motors and be done with it .90 miles away also boat is in a little hick:grin: town. IA UPS will automatically kick-in, as it drains the batteries.
The generator would need both an automatic start and an automatic transfer switch to perform that function. They are manual on my 380DA.
Also, the restore function could be automated, but that typically involves re-sync of the phase, to creep them back into alignment. Otherwise a worst case would be to start on-line at 0° when the gen just finished at 90° hitting everything on board w/ a 340 volt peak instead of the typical 170 peak in a 120 VAC system. This could fry some of the input filter capacitors within electronics.
A UPS also performs that phase alignment function.
Now you are funny and your boat has a funny name.Hope to see you soon at the marina.Cold, rain, no water ,pool closed and no bowling for the WAHOOS I might be home this weekend.:smt089Dave, I was being funny ;-)
You probably already have an AC junction box in your bilge for your Air Conditioner system so look at that as a guide.
Not to get into a big debate but..
Some people have AC outlets in their gas boat bilge...
Some people don't wear their PFDs on the boat...
Some people use portable gas generators on their boat...
Some people go offshore without a liferaft or EPIRB...
Some people drink and boat....
Some people cross the Gulfstream in a bowrider...
Some people eat medium-rare steaks...

Actually, it looks like your charger IS ignition protected:
