I have seen a power cord with the end in the water, but it was the
marina end and not the boat end of the cord. (It was in the Bahamas
and the dockmaster didn't seem concerned.) That cord it would have
been difficult to retrieve without going on board the boat.

Yes, but the marina end falling in doesn't present much of a hazard.
The cord isn't live then. DUH. I'd really like to see you grab a live
wet A/C cord that is coated with salt water and live. Apparently, you
don't have the brains god gave an ant.
