Stupid shore power question

So when people put the outlets in the cabin like this picture is there a box behind the outlet like in home wiring?

Or do they just screw the outlet to the plastic?

Dont know about yours but mine has a box behind them.

Mine have boxes too

Wildman_grafix 02-27-2015 08:12 PM

I haven't put mine in yet, what kind of box?

VoodooRob 02-27-2015 08:22 PM

Standard "old work" box would do.

Now I am starting to think,,,,,, (not a good thing).

The breaker panel I have (Blue seas) didn't come with a cover. Does your guys have the breaker panel covered?

Don't forget to install a galvanic isolator.

My panel has a tinted plexiglass cover on two small hinges on it but the panel is resisted in.

US1,

Got that from Lewis marine.

I think you mean on the front? I was wondering if anyone put one of the covers on the back. My only reason for this concern is the typical mounting location on a fountain is real close to the DC wiring and switches.

Phil, that's where I have all my electrical stuff. The Outlet is in a remodel box, with the SP panel on the back side. It's not too bad. My SP panel does not have an enclosure on the backside to house all the AC breaker connections/wiring. I even have my A/C flex duct running up inside there.
