Electricity has always been a bit mysterious to me.  Assuming the electric wiring for a boat lift is in the rafters of the boat house, and it connects to a lift motor sitting 12 feet above the water, how is that dangerous?  The motor connects to a drive shaft that has cables to lift the pontoon (or other) boat.  How is that a shock danger to someone in the water?
