I've responded to more than a dozen boat/marina fires in the past ten years. In almost every case it was related to the shore power connection on the boat's side. Other causes have been space heaters, careless fueling practices (gas in bilge) and electrical shorts on the 12v side. Only one boat survived the fire and is better than new, and that was just pure luck.
