Just curious about what I saw today at an event. Haven't been in the Marina Section yet but can you run rubber conduit to subpanels in a park on the river that floods??? It looks like 3 ungrounded conductors (#4 Cu) and 2 Grounded Conductors (#6Cu) in a 1.5" Rubber conduit (I sqeezed it). On a side note I saw a recent job with GFCI's in tree mulch at a brand new shopping center 1" off ground. Meters 2ft or 8ft off ground, etc... Should I carry tickets to sporting events and drop them on floor when inspector shows up? Please tell...How can these big companies get away with this stuff?? I'm not sure how that park would be classified anyhow. It's 25ft above normal water level but in bad floods it gets covered and there are boats close by but not necessarily a marina area.

That also looks like SO cord to me as we used alot of it in the "plant" mostly for hooking up temporary "but ended up permanent" stuff like big fans & portable power stations, etc. It is very tough but It is definately not kosher in that situation. It may be feed for a underwater pump of some sort as alot of them have a rubber jacket like that.
I used to run the rubber jacket a few inches past the squeeze nut & tape the heck out of it so it could not pull out like that one did............... I don't see a lock on that Box either !
