It's a straight forward job. You could always flip off the breaker up at the house where this will originate to allow swimming to be safe. Mike

do u happen to have a picture of the breaker panel u installed? the good news is that electric will be near the water but not actually above it or crossing it at any point. also this is saltwater which makes a big difference when talking about stray current in the waterYou can get weather proof breaker panels and put on the dock. I got one on mine with a 50a welding outlet, 2-30a boat outlets and 4-15a outlets and have room for more. All breakers are ground fault except the welding outlet. The main breaker is 100 amp but you can get bigger or smaller depending on your needs. I have docks the rise or lower with the water level-on a river-so my line is overhead with a weather head like your house.I have a main weather proof panel on the lot that feeds the dock panel with separate main breaker for docks. Important thing is to maintain your grounds and make sure hot and neutrals aren't reversed. I got a ground wire that ties the docks to ground thru the water with a ground wire so no chance of stray current. I got 85' of docks floating at my place and the wiring been in place since 1990 and never a problem,

Heres the pictures you asked for, The panel below the electric meter is my main breaker panel for docks, trailer and I have 3 telephone poles around lot with street lights and various outlets. The panel on the docks has 1-30 amp 220 volt welding outlet, 2-30 amp 110 v for boats and 4-110 volt 20 amp outlets. All are ground fault except welding outlet. Every telephone pole has a ground wire to ground and the panel ground on docks is tied to dock frame which are steel and to ground via the steel pillings so any metal you touch is grounded. Never had any stray current and only trouble I had was with other boats that were wired wrong. Rules I like to follow with docks is make sure hot wire and neutrals are wired right, make sure everything is grounded and check your grounds regulary and watch out for badly wired boats! Had this setup for 29 years and never a problem.do u happen to have a picture of the breaker panel u installed? the good news is that electric will be near the water but not actually above it or crossing it at any point. also this is saltwater which makes a big difference when talking about stray current in the water
I'm a retired Steamfitter i can help you out with the Gas line LolProps to you guys, I could never do this, and if I did, I would be constantly worried about blowing up/burning down/electrifying something/someone that shouldn’t be. Not to even mention the liability if something bad did happen. The only thing I can think of worse than this is running gas lines!
