Just want to post a issue I discovered a couple years ago. As more and more marinas are installing GFI circuits on marine pedestals, this issue is going to be ongoing. In the early years of ground fault detection on boats the systems used a momentary pulse to sense a incorrect wiring or ground fault issue. On older systems it worked well. On modern GFI systems, not well. Promariner sold thousands of systems that were installed at the factory's. Most of these older systems are not compatible with new marina GFI's. If you have a gremlin you are chasing please just unhook or unplug your bonding / isolation system monitor for a short period. These systems usually are not connected behind a circuit breaker so you will have to physically find the box and unhook it. If you boat no longer trips the GFI then that's the issue. I believe their are current production upgrade systems that are compatible with new GFI dock requirements.
