If you guys had even the a shadow of a clue ; you'd know that 12v ain't gonna hurt
if Ya get shocked
AND
that a fast acting fuse on the negative side of Any battery, would totally eliminate
any chance of injury !

You guys have the cognitive resources of a fricken Slug ; nobody actually
answered the question, you responses just showed me how Ignorant you are (.)

I thought the first answer was a good one. He didn't mention anything about shock danger. Water and electric things generally don't play well together. You are the slug for assuming that. If anyone had a clue what you were referring to they would have chimed in, so there's your answer. Google is your friend.

Good riddance. The self promoting condescending intro clued us in to your character in the first place.

I never understand how somebody can jump to such a rude response with so little provocation.

I don't believe you mentioned the amount of volts, or that anyone mentioned being electrocuted by the gloves.

Have you confused this with a different forum?

I suggest a new topic; What type of oven-gloves do you use on your beachcat,
to get Billie of the boat ?
Please specify the brand of the gloves and the type of your catamaran.

what a guy ! André
