That should never be. The ground and neutral should only be connected together at the source. In the case of shorepower, that would be at the marina's or in this case the home's entrance panel. The point where the power company's service ends and the business or homeowners equipment is connected to it.

If the boat has an inverter or generator, this is the source (only when connected and supplying power) and in this case, the ground and neutral are connected together here but only when this is the source of the boat's power.
