Mariner 2897 Wire chaffing


I just got my hands on this boat - 1985 Mariner 2897. I discovered wire chaffing on the main 110v wire from the inlet to the bus, among other wires (12v) near the port side transmission. The boat has not had power on it in two years, the previous owner didn’t recall any electrical issues. I’m curious why this happened? Overload? The previous owner had tons of things plugged in throughout the boat.

Any ideas on why this occurred? Can you identify which wire is the culprit? Can the 12v wires be spliced and new sections put in with butt joints?

Thanks!
