Another, maybe easier thing to do that might find the problem quickly is to feel each connection along the route to the pilothouse. Any large voltage drop will cause the connection to be hot. Then fix the connection and the voltage drop may go away.

I like that idea! I would think it would have to be a very poor connection to create that much voltage drop and that should generate a lot of heat. BTW, finding the problem will not only solve some electrical problems in your PH, but keep the OP's boat from burning up.
