Is it common for 120 Volt power for a boat lift to be ran down into the water, under the boat, and back up to the motor on the other side of the boat?
There is a motor on either side of the boat/lift, so down under water seems to be the most reasonable way to run the wiring. But I didn't expect 120V power to be ran through the water.
The power is ran using SO cable in PVC conduit.
Edit: Reading through 555, and Mike Holts 555 PDF, I see that equipment and connections must be kept above the electrical datum plane, but I don't see anything that prohibits wiring methods or power cables from going into or through the water.
