    Steve-Re:Floating Isolated A.C. systems. The elctrician for the marina
    gave me some flack about wanting the boats A.C. floated off the D.C.
    ground. Had thought about doing that but it turns out to be very
    difficult to find all the grounding sites. My guess is some A.C. motors
    or lines are individually grounded and not connected to the ground buss
    perse. The electrician is afraid of shorting the transformer (which has
    run continually for 30+ years). Any thoughts about this?
