Since your boat is not wired like the diagram, can you tell us how it is 
wired?  Specifically, is there something else between the 30A AC breaker 
(shore power) and the AC outlet breaker on the panel?

Have you checked for power at the AC outlet breaker?  Could you just 
have a bad breaker?

Feed to AC outlet breaker is not fed directly from 30 amp AC Breaker as shown in my owners manual.  I have tested for power to the outlet “push in” switch and have found no power to it.  I have attempted to cycle the ground fault receptacles with no results.  I have checked for power in to each of the two GFR outlets and have none.  Dave Casey’s book indicates the possibility of a polarization or isolation transformer to feed the AC.  All diagrams show no transformer. Diagrams also show a direct feed from the main AC breaker which is not the case on my boat.  I am reasonably capable with the topic and have test tools.  Help / experience with this issue?
