Yes two of them
agree on serious. All the wires in the pics are tied to the main 110V line source. Except for black / white that goes to air conditioners when generator running.
You’re lucky you still have a boat. But a lottery ticket dude. These connections just smoulder until you decide to leave the boat for a few hours
Check your shore power cables for burn marks.
It's either that, or kiss your boat goodbye
!Except for the one that decide to burst into flames, at 03:00, while you and your family are fast asleep, ON THE BOAT.
Interesting to assume that one does not understand electricity. So far have spoken with 2 certified marine electricians and they are also perplexed. General thought is that an electrical surge from a lighting strike near by. Will require replacing a number of components incase there is unknown/obvious damage.It's either that, or kiss your boat goodbye

You have electrical components in there that have no business being in there. And given the hopeless electrical workmanship, the life expectancy of your boat is a couple of years at best.
Admit it, your electrical skills are not your top qualification. You can't solve this problem so get a certified electrical expert. I doubt you are responsible for this electrical mess but someone, at sometime, has turned your boat into a potential floating funeral pyre.
Sorry for being so brutal. Just hoping we can keep a fellow boater from an electrical fire .................. the number one cause of fires on boats.

If you are quoting from a previous answer, all bets are off. There's your major problem right there.
What you show in your photos is someone's home made mess. This would be the PO I presume. The person who did that didn't know a wire from a halyard. And you're showing your complete lack of electrical knowledge by insisting that it's "as is" from Hunter. Hunter did not put out crap like that at any period. Forget your lack of electrical knowledge ............. admit it and get over it. You've got plenty of other boating strengths elsewhere, I'm sure.
Got a bunch of associates available for backup @Mike Oldak ?
Thank you for the insight. It is amazing that from looking a a few 110V panel light wires you are able to have so much insight. Amazingly enough if you look at a new paneltronics board they look just like this one looked when these wires were not having issues. Also amazing that for the 10 years of owning this vessel and running the 100, DC, inverter, and gen - no issues. So I will take it you have no real suggestions, other then find an electrician (which I am doing) of something may have caused this. Feel free to PM and give me a call if you actually have something helpful. Being disparaging and rude is just ignorant.
In all seriousness, thank you. You've just reduced your chance of becoming the victim of an electrical fire to near zero.
Sorry, but without being there, it's impossible to diagnose the problem with just a few pictures. I'm sure a certified marine electrician will be able be able to throw some light on this problem. He will definitely be able to bring the wiring up to code. Hell, you've already got some free consulting from an electrical engineer (@Mike Oldak ).
Absolutely true but I'm no longer worried about you and yours becoming front page headlines in your local rag.
In your third picture, 8906, there is a red wire connected to a green wire. I find it difficult, if not impossible, to believe that ANY panel manufacturer would have produced this product with this color mismatch. I believe you have simply been very lucky so far.
