Default AC wiring question - identifying neutral wire

My boat has non-standard color coding on the AC wiring, typically all
3 wires red instead of the US standard of black, white, green.

Identifying the hot wire is easy but I'm not sure how to positively
identify the neutral wire vs the safety ground. Measuring voltage
from the hot wire yields 110 to either one. This is looking from the
load end not the panel end of course.

Anyone have suggestions?
