I need a source for a 240v to 110v transformer suitable for a marine environment. Any suggestions?

As Roy said you need a 55-0-55 centre tap transformer where the centre tap is earthed. This ensures that the voltage on the equipment is never more than 55 volts with respect to earth. Even if you have a hand in the water and touch the live terminal, you may get a belt but it should not be fatal. But don't try it.

No, the 110v is because the boat is American and wired for 110v. Thanks for the advice.
