GFCI protection is required for boathouse receptacles, specifically for which of the following scenarios?

• A. All 15A And 20A, 125V, Single-Phase Receptacles
• B. Only 15A Receptacles
• C. Only 20A Receptacles
• D. None Of The Above

Answer: (A)

GFCI protection is required because boathouses are wet/damp locations where the risk of electric shock is higher. The NEC mandates GFCI protection for all outdoor or damp/wet receptacles that are 125V and either 15A or 20A, single-phase. That means both 15A and 20A receptacles in a boathouse must be GFCI-protected, either by using GFCI outlets themselves or by providing GFCI protection at the panel. The requirement isn’t limited to one amperage rating, so both types are covered.
