Joe/Brent,
Yes...you will get some shocking effect, but it will not be severe. The
kill
zone with the battery submerged (or breaker box) will be in-between the
positive and negative poles of the battery/connection.
Remember there are underwater welders that deal with this all the time. It
is an uncomfortable thing to do....but is not life threatening, until you
enter the kill zone.

Brent,
This is one of those issues in the "back of my mind" as well. I figured to
delve in further at the proper time but, perhaps someone can elaborate.
