   "It's basically like a bomb on the water," says Lake mechanic Terry Hart. On Monday, a boat exploded when a man simply switched on the radio. Officials say the explosion is believed to be caused by a leak in the carburetor and the fumes ignited when the switch was turned on.
   
   The Missouri Water Patrol says they do not keep records of boat explosions, but they do say it is not uncommon. Hart, who has been a mechanic at the Lake since 1972, can vouch for that. "It happens more and more," says Hart.
   
   What causes a boat explosion? "All of the fumes get trapped under the boat when there is a gas leak or what not," says Hart.
   
   Hart says there are certain things boat owners or driver must do to make sure their boat is releasing those fumes properly.
   
   - Make sure the filter is new or cleaned. "This will almost always save you form an explosion," says Hart.
   
   - If you leave your boat sitting for awhile, that can also cause a leak. "You have to do annual checkups. I myself check it every time," says Hart.
   
   -Turn the blower on. "This helps suck up some of that air and pushes it out of the engine," says Hart.
   
   For boats under 24 feet, you need to have the blower on for at least four minutes before taking off, and seven minutes for any boats larger than 24 feet. Hart says you should do this every time you start the boat.
   
   He also says to smell what is coming out of the blower. "If it smells like gas, don't drive it. If it smells like old boat, you're okay," says Hart. "Always take a sniff, it will tell you whether its okay or not to go out."
   
   Hart says take your boat to a trained marina technician, if you have any questions or problems.
   
   Hart says more and more people are buying diesel-powered boats, which are safer and less explosive. He also says car safety tips apply to boats, like like turning everything off while fueling.
