  On 03/31/2016, at about 06:30 p.m., this vessel was docked at a Marina on Lake Washington.  The Operator, Owner1, was preparing the vessel to depart the dock.  According to Owner1, he and his passengers, Passenger1 and Passenger2, had gone to the vessel for the first time this year on this day.
   
  Owner1 reported that they removed the cover, ran the blower and started the vessel up like they had done hundreds of times before.  While the vessel idled, they discussed what needed to be done to clean her up for the summer.  After 8 to 10 minutes of idling, they debated whether to take a spin.  Just as they were about to leave the dock, the engine/bilge exploded.  Owner1 turned from the helm and was stunned to find a wall of fire and his daughter, Passenger1 missing.
   
  Passenger1 was thrown, along with the deck/engine cover of the boat, about 25 feet off of the stern.  When she surfaced, Owner1 jumped in the water to assist her to the dock.  With the help of passers by and Passenger2, she was comforted.  Owner1 ran to fight the fire.  It took all of 2 fire extinguishers to put out the flames.
   
  Passenger1 is recovering from her injuries.  Owner1 has an appointment scheduled with a specialist for his hearing loss.
