    But then every boat would have a broken ground indication. (sort of)

    Seriously, Lew is right!
    The cost of the isolation transformer is less than one years worth of fire
    insurance.
    In addition you can solve a number of dock power related issues by using an
    isolations transformer.
    For instance if you have a multi-tap winding you can also compensate for low
    dock voltage.
    If you cruise both sides of the oceans you can have a 230/120V changeover.
    And with a few other modifications you have a universal dock power
    input,good for anywher in the world.

    Cheers
    Arild
