My boat's shoreline's GREEN ground wire was never connected to the engine ground stud, as It should be now.
Also I noticed that the duplex GFI outlet under the sink in the galley is connected to a 2 more outlets, one in the Head(under cabinet) and one in the bilge next to the batteries.

My questions are is it "Normal/Safe/Legal" to have a 110 volt outlet in the head OR bilge area, NOW?
Back in 1982, I guess they did not have to run AC ground back to common DC Ground point?

ALL of this wiring looks original like Sea Ray did it.The outlet in the bilge area had a battery charger plugged into it. And the one in the head was mounted underside of the side cabinet.(windows leaked into this area)

I'am updating he shoreline with green wire to engine and installing Galv. Isolator, also.

Are the"NEW" Sea Ray outlets mounted as such?
