 Text 
The emergency shutoff device or electrical disconnect shall 
de-energize the power supply to all circuits supplied by the 
marina power outlet(s) or enclosure(s) that provide shore 
power to boats. A circuit breaker handle shall not be used for 
this purpose.
Expert Analysis 
A new subsection has been added to require an 
emergency disconnect within sight of the marina power 
outlet or enclosure providing shore power to a boat. 
This will allow bystanders to quickly de-energize power 
to the boat in an emergency.
