Im trying to add some 120V AC outlets to my boat for more powering options at the dock. Can I just go down to the local hardware store and pick up any backing box for the outlet?

A. The most important thing to look for when purchasing an outlet box for your boat is the UL mark. In a 120V system you will want to look for the UL 514 mark on the outlets and the boxes. Using products with this mark eliminates the chance of an un-marked product failing and causing an unsafe situation.
