That and some
people are dumb enough to run shore power cables underwater to run
AC's.


Joe thinks the wires will get wet and then blow out a transformer. He
knows as much about electricity as he does cables!

Actually, Bob. Joe is right on this occasion.

Your shore power cable is not completely waterproof. Over time water will
get in.

Fibre optic cables are filled with a water repellant gel to prevent frost
damage because PVC and Polueurathane insulations are not completely
waterproof. Over a six month period, enough water will get through your
cable's insulation to cause real problems.

Joe is correct. The wires will get wet if you leave a shorepower cable
submerged. I think that you should apoligise to him.
