Double fail, that's safety critical and should have two red ties.

If you do cut the 'tie' a sharp edge is left unless a special cutter is used. The battery terminal should have been cleaned.

Shouldn't this be in the Impractical Boat Owner forum?

Surely Sellotape would be a safer solution? No sharp edges.
Duck tape would clearly be over-engineering it

I tried to jump start my car from another car. Alpha Romeo battery terminals are difficult / impossible to get a good grip with jump lead crocodile clips. So my solution was to force screw between the post and clamp and attach the croc to that.
I learned that there is enough power in a car battery to melt a nr 8 screw and set light to the surrounding plastic.

I know we don't know who did this or why, personally I never let anybody else near my boat or motorbike unless I have to...

I think that this may belong to the man who came to fix my roof the other day.

I think this may belong to the marine engineer who supposedly winterised my engine. He didn't touch the engine, just polished the prop which I did not request. Wanted £200 which he didn't get and he didn't protest about it.

Shocking putting on a positive lead onto what is clearly a negative!!

Dangerously sloppy IMHO.
Clearly demonstrates the need for a good cable tie tensioner:

I think that black ties are a bit sordid and prefer white, which show up better.
