  1. Even if you don’t have the title of captain, if you’re an inboard boat owner, you better know to ventilate before starting. It’s as basic as knowing that you don’t want to drive a car on flat tires. It doesn’t matter what brand of starter you have installed, you ALWAYS need to ventilate before starting

  2. currysini85 Even fresh water can conduct electricity. Water must be very clean to become an insulator. Salt water is a better conductor though. In any case, regardless of who worked on your boat or what parts they put in, water getting into the electrical system is gonna cause you to have a bad time. You could (if you’re a lobbyist) argue that an individual could forget to put the drain plug back in when dropping the boat in the water for this reason, but that’s sorta like forgetting to check if your tires are flat in a car. You’ll notice pretty quick if you forgot, and it can be pretty expensive if you do. And draining the boat when you take it out of the water is like a preventative maintenance thing you should always be doing. Shouldn’t need a service tech to come out every time you take your boat out of the water
