Default Isolation Transformer - Marine GFCI Breaker?

Go to http://tinyurl.com/gaxe9 . Buy Blue Sea 2-pole, 30A, circuit breaker
P/N 7365 for your main disconnect. Use GFCI breakers or receptacles on the
load side of your isolation transformer on the individual circuits that need
it. Call Blue Sea and find out which of their circuit breakers have GFC
protection built in ...the web site is not obvious, but they are obviously
aware of it. Get Charles to give advice on the GFC protection and ask them
why you can't just put GFC protection on individual circuits that need it
(on the load side of your is-xformer). Note that you can have separate line
protection on the input side for GFC-like protection, but it'll just result
in lots of nuisance trips.

Good luck,
Brian D

I've found no reference to "OFP" anywhere

Mystery solved- "OFP" is a typo- should be "GFP" - Ground Fault
Protection, says the technician at Charles.

Still haven't found any such marine 2 pole 30 amp breaker, though.
