Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | You have a very dangerous situation! You or anyone else touching the boat could be killed! First & foremost there is either a fault in the charger, a wiring problem or both. Usually the latter. Have you tested the electrical outlet with an outlet tester? What about your extension cord? Lastly recheck the charger wiring/installation. You can get an outlet tester at most hardware stores. I'm guessing something is wrong with the grounding in the power circuit, i.e., what electrician's call the equipment grounding conductor, a.k.a. "the green ground wire".
Isolating/insulating the charger is not a good solution, i.e., you will still have a problem. Call me if you need more help-> 608-847-6123
