RedactedNarrative: The operator of vessel 1 was driving the boat normally at first, and then experienced the boat 'bucking' which she first attributed to possibly old fuel. The boat then lost power and the operator was unable to restart it. At this time she noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. A nearby boater who is a firefighter noticed the smoke and approached vessel 1. He had the operator board his boat and then used a cooler to pour water into the engine compartment to extinguish the fire. NH Marine Patrol arrived on scene and was able to tow the damaged vessel to a nearby marina where the owner retrieved it.
