Next message: (no email): "TWL: Re: Another dumb electrical question"
I've got an anomaly in my boat that trips GFCI's in a couple of circuits.
Myself and two different electricians haven't been able to find the problem.
I finally gave up and just installed GFCI's at the final outlets on both
circuits. Had tried to install one in the engine room with the load on one
side, and the line output to the strings of outlets in the galley. Never
worked... just popped instantly when I applied the power. I guess (hope?)
that since it apparently didn't cause the PO any major problems, it won't
for me. Zincs decay at an acceptable rate, no evidence of electrolysis
anywhere else. Another reason I asked if anyone could recommend a GOOD
marine electrician in the Houston area.

I can read your mind, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
