When we had our 575 surveyed during its purchase, the surveyor suggested that the AC outlets did not have GFCI protection and suggested that we install a GFCI receptacle at the first outlet in the circuit (providing protection to all downstream outlets) to comply with ABYC recommendations. Can anyone confirm whether the factory setup lacks GFCI protection and, if so, what’s the right fix?

Mainer,

Our 2014 575 is fitted with two RCBO breakers which I think are the same or similar. One is for the normal electrical system and the other is for the air conditioning system.

Wayne is correct. Both circuits (air con and house) are each protected at the mains panel.
