I will in the future never swim and advise to never
swim around docks because of possible
electric shock
but no where in the discussions
was it said what is considered to be a minimum safe distance
with scientific certainty. Is 50 yards safe? 100 yards?
The bigger problem I see is the possibility that "work"
needs to be done on the bottom or rear of the
boat
while it is in the
water perhaps in a slip at the marina.
It would be very problematic to take a non running
boat
away from the docks by paddling to do the
work and
then paddling back. How far must we paddle the boat
from the marina to be safe ?
I'm only halfway kidding... could you connect a ground wire
to a swimmer ?
