did it actually melt the pylon? that is crazy if it did.

That should buff out.

Thanks for the words people!

I was just at the authority and could see my boat again.

As I feared, the definitive cause of the fire can no longer be determined.

The investigators sawed out parts of the front hull in the area of the steering position to investigate.

The cause is noted in the report as "technical defect."

I have taken some pictures for you.

By the way: I was able to take the bathing platform home in good condition without any problems.

If someone is interested? Otherwise I'll make a nice wall shelf for the garage.

Here in Switzerland, a 2kg fire extinguisher is mandatory. I will get a foam extinguisher for the next boat. Through all the dust of the powder extinguisher, I could no longer see exactly whether the fire is out or not. I had to wait some time until the dust was gone to see if something is still burning.



But like you said, put on your life jackets, call 911 and get off the boat.

Interesting...like the advice on foam over dry powder

serious question what was in the gunnel on the passengers side to get it hot enough to burn like that there?

Fire I think.

But seriously, that's a big bummer! I am also curious as to what started the fire... that'd be pretty scary. Hang in there!

i'm glad you both are safe and another boat was nearby that looks crazy.


unfortunately i do not believe it will buff out this time.

Thank god you’re safe. Scary sheet man….

Glad you two are safe! That spread fast from the looks of the photos!!!

Sorry for your loss, but great nobody was hurt.

Too bad you can't get more details on root cause. I'd be really curious.

Thank you for your words.
I am also very curious what started the fire.
As I said, tomorrow I may know more when I am on site.

Even the whole water ski pole is completely melted. just insane....

Condolences for your loss SC. Glad all are safe.

Thank you for this picture. Makes me really sad to end the season like this.

An hour ago, the investigating authority called me that the cause of the fire is suspected to be a technical defect in the area of the dashboard.

More specifics can no longer be determined due to the degree of destruction.

Tomorrow I'm going to the authorities to see my boat again. Maybe something can be saved, e.g. the bathing platform, propeller, anchor etc.

RIP in pieces. Glad no one was hurt!

Glad you got out safely.

Any advice for the rest of us based on what you experienced?

I have often thought that a fire in a ski boat like mine with all the synthetics and trapped air chambers that it would likely be a quick try with an extinguisher but likely life jackets, abandon ship and call the insurance
