RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated to the effect:  I was traveling south when I saw smoke.  I stopped the boat to let the engine cool down and the smoke stopped.  I restarted the engine and the fire began.
  
  Investigation revealed:  Vessel #1 departed from the Bristol Yacht Club and began to travel south on the Delaware River.  Vessel #1 was just south of the PA Turnpike Extension Bridge when Operator #1 observed smoke coming from his engine compartment, which was located towards the stern of his vessel.  After the engine cooled down and the smoke dissipated, Operator #1 attempted to restart his engine, at which time the engine became fully engulfed with flames.  At this time Operator #1 used his fire extinguisher to put out the flames and avoid any further damage.  No injuries were reported. Vessel #1 was towed back to the Bristol Yacht Club without incident.
