I don't believe there is any receptacle approved for use below deck in a gas boat. Just the act of putting a plug into a receptacle often generates a spark.
If you are in the engine room the boat is wide open which allows lots of air ventilation into the bilge. Plus you are in the bilge and will smell fumes. My boat has the outlet and the certification. It is fully enclosed and not open to the ER until you use it.
