Just keep looking and it’s probably in an out of the way, well hidden spot.

Thanks. I'm actually an electrical engineer - and my wife and I looked for 2 hours yesterday and still couldn't find it. It's strange that all the Marquis models have a GFCI power outlet shown in the aft cockpit area but our model doesn't have one. Will just have to keep looking! I'm sure when we find it, we'll go duh, there it is!

Do you have an ice maker? If so, pull it out of its storage cubicle. There is probably an outlet behind it. My boat has “cabinets” for TV’s. On one of them, there is a panel underneath that has to be removed to access the outlet. How about one behind the galley refrigerator or microwave. Above deck frig?
As mentioned, look very closely inside all cabinets. Any chance there is one in the engine room or any below deck spaces?
I’m sure that boat has a washer/dryer. You may have to pull them away from the bulkhead to look. Any other appliances?
