HI - thanks for your reply. It sounds like you know a lot about these things. My yellow power cord may have been damaged a year ago when we backed out of our slip without disconnecting first - could that have caused an internal damage that only surfaced later? But I still don't understand how a short within the cord - say from one of the power cords to ground - would not have tripped a breaker. And I can't understand how a short within the shore cord could still have caused the ground wire circuitry inside the boat to overload and heat up - wouldn't it just short back to the shore breaker?
