Shore Power Safety
The other issue is the cord end where it plugs into the boat inlet. These tend to wear out with time especially if you do not use the locking ring which allows for more movement as the boat rocks. Inspect the end and if you see any charring, either replace the cord set or the receptacle on the end before it is to late.
Any sign of charring or pins that are somewhat not perfect any more are signs of overheating. This will not go away, it is going to get worse and needs attention NOW!
I converted my previous boat to a new kid on the block called Smartplug. Best thing since sliced bread if you ask me. I have also converted the new Carver to the same as it is new to me but still 9 years old. The video in the Smartcraft link is self explanatory. https://youtu.be/TAJXY1YSIlw
