The only thing "great" about that article is how clearly it demonstrates
that some people are too stupid to own a boat...how determined they are
to be protected from their own stupidity and that the rest of us pay for
that protection. Anyone who has at least a room temperature IQ should
know better than to breathe engine exhaust...from a car OR a boat!

Btw...I've owned boats and/or been around 'em for most of my 60 years,
and I THINK my IQ is at least room temperature...but this makes NO sense me:

"But Glenn Palmer... says he had no clue when refueling his boat...The
refueling mechanism required a running engine...."

I've never heard of ANY refueling system that requires a running
engine...in fact always been taught that correct safety procedure
require just the opposite--that NOTHING be on...not the engines, not the
blowers, nor anything electrical or electronic during fueling. Even
blowers should not be turned on till AFTER fueling.


In fact some motors are so hungry that you better shut off the engine
to be able to get more gas pumped in as the motors guzzle out
