Rodney, This is a condo marina. They will fix the problem but have no
idea how to track it down. Since it directly affects my boat I will
try and assist them in finding the source. That is why I posed the
question. Chuck
What I did was take the little tester gizmo, along with a pigtail that
converted the dock outlet to an ordinary 3-prong outlet, and plugged
it in to dock posts all over the marina.
In our case it turned out the ground was open over the whole north
dock, which was half of the marina. The south dock was OK. So, the
break was at the connection from the floating dock to the solid.
An open ground may not be the only cause, but whatever it is may show
up with the ground tester.
