Text
The emergency shutoff device or electrical disconnect shall
de-energize the power supply to all circuits supplied by the
marina power outlet(s) or enclosure(s) that provide shore
power to boats. A circuit breaker handle shall not be used for
this purpose.
Expert Analysis
A new subsection has been added to require an
emergency disconnect within sight of the marina power
outlet or enclosure providing shore power to a boat.
This will allow bystanders to quickly de-energize power
to the boat in an emergency.
