True that. I am no electrician either. We have four on our dock as regulated by the CORPs, and I have never heard of any issues on well regulated lakes. Always better safe than sorry though.
When I was young, my brother and I were swimming up to the back of our house boat as my father plugged it in. I remember both of us stopped and couldn't move. We managed to yell and he unplugged it immediately and we were fine. Its scary looking back and realizing how close we were to dying.
