Same on my boat. Although no door just an access hole.

Agree, that is a bad design. Thankfully, on my 356, I have my shore power connections in a compartment with a door and my water connection is on the other side of the transom.
Got a buddy with a 41’ Regal and he has both connections in an enclosed compartment. Can’t believe ABYC would allow that. Maybe they did at one time but don’t any longer.

Re: Cover for electrical and water shore connection
What's actually "broke" with the current door? Is it a hinge problem or a latch problem or is the door actually fractured somehow? If the door is actually broke, maybe a local glass shop could use the parts to make a mold and create a new door our of GRP?

The cover is shown in the photo.
That is my boat
Do you have the cover at all or is it missing? I am going up to my boat next weekend and I would take some measurements for you. It is just a piece of 1/4 plastic that has been cut to fit. I would order some from amazon, Tap Plastics, or where ever else (Make sure that the type you buy is UV resistant and will be ok in the elements). Then just cut it out with a jigsaw and a metal cutting blade.
To be honest the box is kind of a pain and I have thought about taking it out all together. ad putting a blank over it with exterior grade connectors.
Could you take a picture of yours and post it? I am going to add a shore water connection and I have had a hard time finding a picture of where the factory connection is located exactly.
