RedactedNarrative: Vessel – 1989, 34' Sea Ray 340 Sedan Bridge Cabin Motorboat w/2 Mercury Inboard Engines
  
  On 04/03/2017, at about 08:00 a.m., this vessel was cruising on Puget Sound/Quartermaster Harbor, located near Vashon Island, WA in King County.
  
  According to Operator, on this date and time, he, his wife, and two small daughters were heading South-East out of Quarter Master Harbor to Chinook Marina.  The weather was overcast, wind calm and still, seas like glass, temperature in the mid to high 30's.  The boat was traveling at about 30 knots when both engines died simultaneously.  
  
  Operator went below to find black pressurized smoke coming from the engine room hatches and vents.  He immediately lowered the dingy from davit.  He ordered the evacuation of his family (wife and two daughters) to the dingy.  
  
  Operator proceeded to make an emergency May-Day call to the USCG.  Once assured that the USCG had their location and situation, he went back to the engine room to investigate and extinguish the fire.  The fire was put out by using removal of electrical source (turned off batteries) and Halon hand held fire extinguisher.  
  
  Operator turned on the power to the radios and notified the USCG that the fire appeared out and to contact via cell.  The Tacoma Fire Department arrived and verified that the fire was out.  They towed the vessel to Modutech in Hylebos Water Way.
