DO NOT try to test this with live power! It is pretty clear from your post that you don't have a thorough understanding of electricity.

Disconnect all power to the boat and then check for continuity with an ohm meter (or a tester set to measure resistance or continuity).

Probably the safest thing to do is to hire a competent marine electrician. This should be a quick and simple diagnosis for an experienced pro.
