In this episode, the Boatyard Boys discuss the pending National Electric Code (NEC) 555 amendment, which essentially states overcurrent protective device(s) that supply floating structures (marinas) shall have ground-fault protection not exceeding 30 mA. Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard ABYC Master Technician Mike Donnellan explains.
The Boatyard Boys are the Thompson Crew: Dad and Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard Manager Patrick, and 6-yr old Son/Comedian Finnlay. Patrick wants to help boat owners avoid costly repairs due to poor maintenance or negligence. And Finnlay? He just loves boats (and his Dad) and making people laugh!
Gig Harbor Marina and Boatyard are again the Silver and Gold Winners of the Seattle Times "Best in the PNW" for 2025.
