If the water heater is not
bonded to the engine ground you get zapped!


(click!) The GFCI just trips. Noone gets zapped.

Another case to make dock GFCIs MANDATORY at all marinas.


If the water heater is on a 250/125 volt circuit there can be no GFCI.

Do you see a lot of water heaters operating at 125 volts?

There are a lot of 6 to 12 gallon hot 125 volt water heaters on sailboats.
