Operator # 1 had finished replacing the water pumps on vessel #1 and took it out for a test run.  All was going well and the operator was returning to the Marina.

He slowed down for a slow speed area and heard a couple of "pops" coming from one of the engines. When he looked back he saw smoke. He went looking for a fire extinsuisher and could not locate one. As the fire spread,  operator #1 jumped over board and was picked up by a vessel in the area.

Due to the extent of damage, the exact cause was undetermined.
