As an amateur electrician (boy, that should scare you), I don't understand why 
the failure of the neutral will cause a fire? Yes all 110 taps will be dead- 
correct?, and it is possible the 220 feeds will vary in voltage, but why a fire 
opportunity?

FYI:
With the neutral feed disconnected, unless by random chance the loads on the 
two legs of the dock are equal, some boats will get a lot less than 120 volts 
and some a lot more.
