Oh it does. I was not really concerned about the shock value so much (I did have GFCI, but everytime it rains I loose the circuit, so I need an alternative form of protection). I am more concerned about extension cord shorting. THAT would destroy a channel because they dont have built in fuses.
As someone mentioned, and I kinda agree, is the low cost of the board in that sort of situation -being as rare as it is- you would just replace the board.
Thanks for your insight guys!
P.S. GFCI's will only protect from electrocutions, not short circuits. *for those that may not know* they measure the current difference between the Line and Neutral wires and so only if current goes elsewhere (ground) will they trip. If the current is just going between those wires it will not trip. Thus the circuit breaker, which will trip on a short but not till well over 20 amps.
