I use butt connectors and heat shrink on all my connections, and I do not think that a GFCI will work on the water.

It will not. There is no grounding rod like a house has.

12V or 110V DFA?

No matter. Standard Marine practices are no wirenuts or twist and tape.

On the Bowfishing site they were talking about grounding the genny to the alum hull.

Search around in here.

For some reason I would be concerned about grounding the generator to the boat. Seems like this could cause an electrolis problem on the hull. Could be wrong.

Death From Above (9/23/2008)No.....the tape works pretty good. Makes it easy when I have to change out a light. Sometimes I just twist the wires together and don't even use tape. All I got to do is pull real hard on the wires andthey comes right loose.

I've only been shocked a couple of times. Nothing serious.

Good stuff...:letsdrink ROFLMFAO
