I think a lot ot problems  with eletrical components  (aside from poor designs)  would statiscically  favour poor maintenace  pratices as the root cause

How many problems have been solved on this board by simply asking OPs to  check connections, wire crimps, cracked insulation, chaffed/ broken wires etc… a lot of which would lead  to  “hot”  wires, HV arching , loss of amperage flow between components  while voltage  “checks out ok ” .

Obviously the boating/marine environnement precipitates problems but  basic  preventive maintenance can do just that…  prevent us from rowing back to shore..
