The only breaker on the standard Catalina panel is on the left side of
the power panel, 2 of them in parallel.  What has happened to at least
one person is that the shore power receptacle on the side of the boat
had one of the wires burn out.

Alternatively we have had one shore power cable that would just come
loose in the shore box.  I had to replace it.  Also sometimes the shore
box will trip but not look tripped.  Generally throwing it off and on
will reset it correctly.  Those are the only problems I have had.
