Why don't you just plug your shore power cord into your inverter? This
would provide power throughout the boat with no danger of exposed live
prongs and no chance of forgetting to unplug the inverter before plugging
into shore power.

Not advisable unless ground fault interrupts are installed on the outlets . . .

Without those, the damned inverter, if powerful enough, might go right on
its merry way electrocuting you.
