Everything being grounded and having gfi outlets is two different things .And all he has to do is install one ,first in chain of outlets.

Wire is wire, it makes no difference. It is hyped so they can charge you three times as much for "marine" grade.

I disagree. Compare hardware store copper wire to a quality marine grade wire.......there is a difference

OK, good wire is good wire. Apples to apples, it just costs three times as much at a marina than anywhere else.

Can you buy tinned wire at lowes or Home Depot?
