Default Danger of electric shock from batteries in small boats?

Right, it's the amps, not the volts that get you and these batteries

It's almost impossible to be injured by low voltage sources like 12v
batteries. That's one of the reasons a lot of outdoor and pool
lighting is low voltage. You might get a tingle that surprises you if
your are soaking wet and touch both battery terminals.


Bull****. You go get yourself wet and put your hands on the battery
terminals. You'll get a a HELLUVA shock from the amperage that's present.
