The fun continues! More AC fun that is ;) It's been a great weekend aboard Athena! I managed to get all the cable management out of the way. Next weekend I can start hooking up the distribution panel :) 

I hope you guys have had as much fun this weekend as I have :) Man, I love this refit project!

Watching this episode made me wonder how you are going to make a RCD work in a AC system that's located behind an isolation transformer? I mean, the isolation transformer isolates your boat's AC network from the common ground of the public AC network, hence the name of the device. So, due to this isolation there is no ground where some of electricity could leak to, bypassing the RCD, and therefore all the electricity that goes thru the RCD to the load or outlet must always come back thru the same route. By definition, there is no such thing as ground behind an isolation transformer, not even if you try to create it by connecting a bunch of green-yellow wires to the same metal plate/coil/whatever.

Mads, if you want to get some DIY help with the your decks, check out a youtube channel called "Boatworks Today". Andy's last three episodes are about replacing a teak deck. Might give you some clues, or ins and outs with the job, since he does talk about deck coring.
