As built, the fuel line from the tank to the A4 ran through the battery compartment in the lower right hand corner of the image. The fuel line was re-configured when a fuel filter was added to the system. Luckily, the fuel lines remained intact during and after the fire.

The best guess that anyone could come up with for the cause of the initial fire was that condensation from the inside of the cabin top (this was early February in Virginia where it it not uncommon to get wild temperature and humidity swings) dripped down onto the most likely dusty PCB. A conductive path was formed that shorted out something and it snowballed from there. Had I finished up the installation or at least had the display portion of the meter in place, I would probably still have a boat. Word to the wise.
