You might want to look at a DC generator and then inverting your power to AC. This is by far the simplest method of achieving your safety goals. I then have separate ground bus bars for the 12v, 48v and 120v from the inverters which then run to an actual grounding rod that is always in the water and when beached can be driven deep into the ground.

Subject: [Electric Boats] Running with a portable generator and grounding.
Hello all,I am just beginning my third season with my electric conversion and will be trying to venture out a little farther and a a little longer. Up to now, my boat has been used as a club racer / day sailor, always returning to the slip at the end of the day to plug in to shore power.I have a portable 2000W/1600W continuous invertor gas generator.How are you all dealing with grounding?Are your generator AC ground and 48V ground and 12V ground all tied together?Where?Can they be isolated?I really don't want to fry anything or any one, nor do I want my prop to dissolve...I am sailing in fresh water./Jason
