110 V in Bilge

[JVM225]

It was a little more work to run the wire, but I used the blank I had on the 110 panel. That way it is stand alone and marked as such and when you're not using it, it can remain de energized by simply not flipping the breaker on. I have my pan heaters plugged in to the outlets normally and just pull one of the plugs if I need to use it for something else. It's mounted on the forward bulkhead center. A lot more convenient than stringing extension cords through hatches.

That would be optimal, but haven’t been inside the boat this week to see if I have a blank on the panel and if I can get a chase to run the wire through from the bilge back to the panel.

There is a 110V gfi outlet in my engine room. Standard from Sea Ray, so it must comply with the rules.

My Tiara has one as well. It is located in an interesting spot where it can be used only with the engine hatch raised. It's at the very top of the ER on a bulk head where fumes do not accumulate.
