We were talking about this yesterday, local FV had an engine room fire, the electrics went off, ally hatch was too hot to touch, but he kept the engine going and got in to the lifeboat station at Kilcobben. Battery leads rubbing against the engine, all melted including the batteries. Another had a bizarre accident, 18ft open boat, his oilers, laying across the engine box, suddenly disappeared through a crack in the deck boards, then the battery came through the locker door in the stern. The oiler sleeve had picked up in the prop shaft, then tangled the battery leads.
