Galvanic Isolator

This may be a silly question but I was wondering if our boats usually have a Galvanic Isolator installed form the factory. Does anyone know?

Our boat (#2299) has a galvanic isolator installed by the factory in the starboard aft lazerette just to the port of the inlet main breaker for the 110VAC Shore Power.

I had this question also some time ago as I did have documentation from the PO. I finally located it in the aft starboard locker, close to the main circuit breaker. It was factory installed. You have to look carefully as it is not too obvious.
