Kind of scary as I have gone into the water at a marina to clear a line that fouled my thruster. Never thought about the danger and even asked permission from the marina first. I guess in the future maybe I'd do this away from the marina or at least unplug neighboring boats? Also had my wife fall over the side while reaching for a line while docking. Scary for several reasons.

My boat has a galvanic isolator. It's not clear to me how this works or performs a similar function as the transformer.
