RedactedNarrative: ** No boat operator
  
  On august 1, 2018, i was contacted by marshall county dispatch about a boat being on fire. At approximately 2045 hours, i arrived on scene and plymouth fire department had the fire extinguished. I observed a white pontoon motorboat behind the residences. The motorboat had fire damage to the 90 horsepower mercury outboard motor. I did not observe any other damage due to the fire. I observed fire extinguisher powder on top of the water surrounding the motorboat. 
  
  Subject said around 2000 hours he was sitting on his deck when he noticed some smoke and smelled what he thought to be an electrical fire. He continued to sit on his deck for a short period of time when he noticed there was a fire on a boat. Subject asked subject2 to grab a fire extinguisher from the house. He went down to owner's boat and discharged the fire extinguisher in to the vents multiple times for roughly five minutes. He then took the motor cover off and discharged the fire extinguisher multiple times. The fire extinguisher was having little to no affect so owner called the fire department. 
  
  At approximately 2112 hours, i made contact with subject2. She said she was sitting on the deck with subject when she could smell something burring. She went in to her house and grabbed a fire extinguisher and gave it to subject. She went over to owner's house and notified him that subject was down at his boat trying to put out a fire. She watched subject try to put out the fire. Subject told her the fire extinguisher was not helping so owner called the fire department. 
  
  At approximately 2125 hours, i made contact with owner. He said his boat motor was worked on june 4th at stanley marine inc. Since getting the motor worked on, he started the boat and let the motor run for about 15 minutes on june 13th, june 25th, july 18th, and august 1st. The boat motor ran fine until on august 1st. On august 1st, at around 1930 hours, he said it started up just fine and ran for about 15 minutes. He then shut the motor off and tried to restart it. He said he could smelled something funny. He tried to start the motor a couple more times and the motor never started so he thought the battery was bad. He could still smell the funny odor. Owner looked at the motor and saw smoke coming from the motor. He watched the motor and the smoke was dissipating. He went to his house to call stanely marine inc. And left a voicemail. Owner said subject2 showed up and told him subject was down at his boat putting out a fire. Owner then called the fire department.
