smally,

Personally, myself, if I was experiencing something like this described above...I'd be concerned being there could be some gas fumes from the on-board gas tank in the boat that could ignite and blow everything near it sky high. An electrical charge that's shocking someone is in essence creating a small spark....which...if the boat's enclosed in a garage and not exposed to open air or fresh air...if fumes built up....could be a recipe for big trouble.

My on-board battery chargers are mounted to a fixed piece of wood that's been designed and installed purposefully from the factory to have the batter chargers mounted to as well as the cranking battery as well as my boat's oil injection resevoir.
