I've been working in the electrical field since 1972 and I have never seen this before. This panel was at the end of a residential fixed pier prior to the gangway going down to a floating dock.
1st time seeing this

but the inspector said "separate the neutrals and equipment grounds"
The electrician did comply, didn't he?

LOL, I just can't see the Grounding wire for the Biggest Service.
Lol, I didn't get it till I read the Second Thread....
Lou, you didn't get between a complete circuit did you ?
What did you read off the panel, and what was the orginal problem that you opened it up ? :roll:

I added a couple of circuits for Jet Ski lifts and rewired the circuit to the existing boat lift which didn't have GFCI protection and they wanted a new controller. Of course I rearranged the grounds and neutrals in the panel too.

Is this panel grounded to anything other than a ground rod?
Before you did, did you actually verify that the whites are grounded conductors and the greens are grounding conductors?

It's because of work like this that we need inspectors. Assume no permit pulled for this one.

Yes, it's hard to see, but a ground is pulled in with the supply conductors.

I assumed so also. I pulled one for my work, and I'm glad I did. I made a mistake and the inspector caught it (and we all had a good laugh about it).
