ECEPTACLE
!
Persons with heart problems or other conditions
which make them susceptible to electric shock may
still be injured by ground faults on circuits protected
by the GFI receptacle. No safety devices yet designed
will protect against all hazards or carelessly handled
or misused electrical equipment or wiring.
Ground fault interrupter receptacles
located in the galley inside the upper cabinet,
in the master head upper cabinet over the sink,
in the guest head upper cabinet over the sink,
under the salon entry steps and in the cockpit
under the wet bar. The GFI receptacles are out
of sight and wired in-line with the exposed Vmar
receptacles throughout the yacht. This allows

shock hazards. Please read and understand
the CAUTION block above.

The GFI receptacle is designed to protect
people from the line-to-ground shock hazards
which could occur from defective power tools
or appliances operating from this device, or
from down-line outlets protected by it. It does
not prevent line-to-ground electric shock, but
does limit the time of exposure to a period
considered safe for normally healthy persons.
It does not protect persons against line-to-line
or line-to-neutral faults.
The GFI receptacle does not protect against
short circuits or overloads. This is the function
of the circuit breaker.

All readily accessible 220V outlets are protected by
a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) located
in an out-of-sight location such as under a cabinet
and includes a test switch to verify proper operation.
Its function is similar, but not identical to the 120V
GFI.

NODES
Electrolysis corrosion of metals on power boats
can result in serious deterioration. The boat owner
must be aware of the possibilities of galvanic action
(the deterioration of metals due to dissimilar
characteristics when placed in salt water), and/or
electrolysis. It is the owner's responsibility to check
for and replace damaged parts due to galvanic
deterioration. Refer to your Sea Ray
investigate the source of stray corrosive currents.
Zinc plates are installed on the transom and trim
tabs to protect underwater hardware. Zinc, being
much less "noble" than copper based alloys and
aluminum used in underwater fittings, will
deteriorate first and protect the more noble parts.
