This one was really close to home....the next marina to us at the gas dock. I believe it was an older carver, just fuelled up & blew the lid right off the boat, propelled two in the water & one on the dock causing serious injuries
I was told that he had engine work done the day before & was having trouble starting one of the engines right after fuelling. No one knows if he used the blowers or not. The hull sank right at the gas dock. They have to lift it even in pieces onto a barge if necessary to do the investigation
It's a wake up call to always use blowers after refuelling & if someone is waiting for you to leave....too bad, safety first
This one really hits home as I was at that particular gas dock a week ago refuelling
