My boat has it immediately behind my electric panel. Yours probably is as well. Just unscrew your panel, drop it down and you will see the switch.

Are you sure you have a relay to look for? May just have a ship - shore selector switch in the ac panel

I believe in that Mariner the item you are looking for is attached to the back of the shore power panel....the one below the 12vdc panel......you remove the face panel then it is there or behind the aluminium box which can also be pulled out, there are some screws holding it in......just be careful and look close.

I just can't remember exactly.....the galvanic isolators are back there for sure.
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.
