MARINA ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

AMI

July 30, 2019

The Association of Marina Industries is offering a new webinar on Marina Electrical Systems. This session will provide a review of the current ground-fault requirements per the National Electrical Code and general best practices for a marina electrical system.  Electrical problems within a marina can be minimized or avoided if they are detected early and addressed immediately.  The presentation will provide a checklist and many examples of what owners, operators, and maintenance individuals should be looking for during routine marina inspections to minimize potential issues before they happen.

Webinar Instructor 
Chris Dolan is the Sales and Customer Relations Manager for Marina Electrical Equipment (MEE) in Williamsburg, Virginia. He has been in the industry since 2000 focusing primarily on electrical design and the manufacturing of marina electrical and safety products.

He currently serves as the secretary on the executive board of the Association of Marina Industries. Chris is also a member of the NFPA 303 Committee which sets the fire protection and electrical safety standards for marinas and boatyards.

An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
