RedactedNarrative: On saturday, may 25, 2019, operator1 was operating his boat on lake gaston.  He traveled to the morningstar marina to fuel his vessel.  Upon arriving at the dock at 4:26pm, one of the attendants began to fuel his vessel.  The attendant did spill a small amount of fuel to top the gas tank off.  Operator1 admitted to not turning his blower on or venting his vessel before during or after the refueling process.  When he turned his key to start the motor, he heard a loud pop followed by fire throughout the engine compartment.  He activated his fire extinguisher but that did not put out the blaze.  Marina workers were able to move the vessel out into open water and used two more fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire.  No one was injured.
