Hi,

I agree with Pascal as to the cause of many of the problems with shore power plugs. The covers are often left loose and get wet, the cords are known to fall into the water or be left open on the dock where that can get wet. Once there has been arcing and any corrosion form the problem just increases with subsequent use and abuse.

Common Sense and Situational Awareness would go a long way to stopping the number of these type of incidents that occur every year.
