First of all, I would think that the subject of grounding is as, or even more important in marine use. All that water ! You are right, the generator doesn't...

REMEMBER: IF THE GENERATOR ISN'T GROUNDED TO THE BOAT, YOU CAN'T GET ELECTROCUTED BY CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICITY IT PUTS OUT. A CIRCUIT IS JUST THAT: A...
