An ELCI is an electric leakage current interrupter.  Any lister installed
one?  Essentially, they are the equivalent of a GFCI for receptacles but
protect the whole boat.  An ELCI is installed on the shore power feed to
the boat.  It can take the place of the main AC breaker.

Whereas your AC receptacles may be protected by a GFCI, your other AC
users, hot water heater, air conditioner, hard wired battery charger, etc.
are not unless you've installed an ELCI.

I think they may be ABYC required for new boats.  Any lister heard a
surveyor mention one during a survey?
