Default Danger of electric shock from batteries in small boats?

Knew a sub sailor in Pearl Harbor that got cooked by a sub battery when he
fell across the poles. Naturally, he was sopping wet with sweat when it
happened and he became a good conductor of boo coo current.

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.

What happens If I get everything wet, or it rains? Could I get killed
by electroshock?!

All the best,

Ron Wagner
