T&T: Debugging an electrical problem

    I am a bit stumped and was hoping someone could help me out. We just
    bought a 44' Thompson Trawler in Ft. Myers, FL about 2 months ago. We
    have successfully moved the boat from Ft. Myers to Kentucky Lake to sit
    out hurricane season this year. Now that we are sitting at our dock on
    Kentucky Lake, I'm experiencing an electric problem that we did not
    have up to this point.

    We we are on shore power (50A), we get enough power to power everything
    on the boat (including dual air conditioners at the same time) except
    the electric stove. The electric stove will sort of power on, but the
    burners never get very hot and the LED "On" light does not light. This
    is the first marina where we have had this issue. The stove has worked
    fine in other marinas on shore power. If I switch to generator power,
    the stove works just fine. I have tried two shore side outlets (both
    in the same box) and both inlets on the boat (one on each side). There
    are no other 50A shore side boxes close enough to reach. My multimeter
    doesn't have prongs long enough to measure voltage at the box. I'm not
    sure what else to test.

    Is it my cable going bad? Is it the shore side box that is bad? Is it
    the internal boat wiring having troubles?

    Thanks...
    Greg...
