My parents just bought a boat to take out on the ocean this summer. Thank you for the safety tips for marine electricity.

I completely agree with you. Safety should be the prime concern for all seafarers working on board.

But can I add some more? If so,

1. All wire should be treated live wire. That mean if someone see bare wire, he should check voltage with good meter before touching it.

2.Breaker off, fuse take off and lock the breaker. And post “Man On Work”. After that you should check the terminal you want to work with good meter to make sure you switch off the right breaker.
