Re: burnt boat
I have seen more boats burn from battery chargers than anything else. I have seen homes..one on Lk MI, burn from an unattended charger. Over the 4th I was in the UP at the cottage, I hooked the charger to the jet ski battery and went on working. Well I was at the marina, hours later, on the boat when I see a big puff of smoke coming from the cottage area...I freak out because I had left the charger on!!! I jump in the boat, race over to the cottage and run up the beach to see some tool burning brush, the charger was still on and ok and the garage, 3 jet skis, 4 snowmobiles and tons of other stuff were fine. I almost had a heart attack getting there, thinking the whole time how my week was ruined by this stupid mistake. Now I have them on a timer, set it for an hour and at least then I know if I forget it will be ok. In the picture I see a stringer that is still ok so the insurance co should try to fix it.
