A friend who knows that I spend a lot of time on our boat in our lake sent me an article on FB about electric shock drowning (ESD). I had never really heard of this before and thought there may be others out there who may also benefit from this information. The link below has a very informative article on the subject.

I am very much a novice when it comes to electricity, but from reading the below article is sounds like the only real problem is with AC coming from shore power of some kind. This is likely why I have never heard of the issue before because our lake is very small with no marina and the only shore power I have at the dock is the occasion extension cord for the battery charger that needs to be hooked up from time to time.
