Default Blown circuit/switch on 2800 SCR?

Hello all. Would really appreciate any ideas you all may have regarding an issue I am having with shore power on my 2800 SCR. Our previously working receptacles ceased working today after my extremely careless co-owner dropped an extension cord into the water today while it was plugged into one of the boat's receptacles (which in turn was being powered via shore power). He was using a power buffer on the exterior of the boat and the cord hit the water where the buffer plugged into the extension cord.

Clearly he blew something. But I can't seem to figure out what that might be. My boat has a dual shore power system - line 1 powers the battery charger, microwave, water heater and receptacles. The breaker on the dock for our shore power was not tripped. The breaker on Line 1 on our boat was not tripped. Yet the receptacle power went out immediately. I did reset both the breaker on the dock and the one on our boat regardless but to no avail. Our voltmeter on line 1 reads 120v still, so electricity is flowing. I should have tested the microwave and battery charger to see if they were affected, but unfortunately I did not prior to leaving the marina.

So, am I missing something? Did the circuit itself get fried? Anything I can do to verify where the problem is? Thanks for any advice you can provide.

- Mark

welcome to the zoo...the 2800 is a nice sized boat....but...like any boat with AC receptacles...they are covered or protected with a gfi unit someplace on your boat...so..check the head or any other one someplace in the boat....look for a reset button on the gfi recpt...
