There are documented cases of swimmers and boaters suffering
electrocution from these problems. How probable? Different subject.

Swimmers are electrocuted from being in the current path from his prop to
the bottom of the water. They're actually inside the conductor.

Measure the AC voltage from your engine block to the ground wire to the
dock....It's zero....(sigh)
