I wonder why the 15 amp fuse blew, it maybe worth a careful investigation.
You must have some means of isolating the mains "shore power" when the boats 240v AC sockets are being supplied by the inverter. As it is a Charger/inverter it may have an automatic changeover switch built in.
In which case it makes sense to take the rest of the boats mains wiring from the change over switch.
I would find out the make and model of the charger/inverter, get hold of the installation instructions and follow the wiring instructions for that specific device.
I have rewired a few boats I have owned including my first boat, a Colvic motorsailor which I built in the 1980's from the bare mouldings.
