Re: Burnt plug on A/C shore power
Use some fine sandpaper or emory cloth and clean the male ends of your cords and the male ends on your boat. They should be shinny clean,
If your contact points are at all corroded, the amperage will be transferred via the best contact surface, and not the complete surface, which will create hot spots and other issues.

FWIW.....The general rule for disconnecting and connecting shore power cords for safety is disconnect from the dock pedestal first and connect to the dock pedestal last.
