Not sure if it'll help... looks like there's a diagram in this:

That's a great document - have saved it to disk and am printing it
now.

Chuck: It's a "standard" Catalina panel, and if it's wired as shown as
"typical" in the above PDF file, it's basically a light between
neutral (white) and ground (green). If there's voltage between them,
the light lights. So, couldn't light if there's any open cct. Also, I
would guess water in the connector would create a short that would pop
the marina breaker, no?

So, no answers so far. I'll head down after work today and poke around
with a meter to see what I can find out (I'll be using a continuity
meter, with the shore power disconnected)

Strange - gnomes may be the answer! (Oh, no: the dreaded Underpants
Gnomes! )
