        … do you think the engine is the only part that needs maintenance?

            There are many failure modes on a boat.

            An engine failure can mean running around on rocks and wrecking the hull, or a failure of a through hull fitting can flood the boat, or a failure of the hull itself.

              And a loss of brakes can put you over a cliff in a car.

              All these failures are the same types of failures a car can have.

              Cars can get you stranded and trapped.

              None of what you stated makes boats any more dangerous than cars.

                OK? The point was, there’s a lot of failure modes that result in the boat sinking, which is an inherently bad situation to be in.

                Whereas most of the ways a car can fail you result in being stranded

                  And there are as many failure modes that can cause harm to the *operator of a car.

                  The point is, when the engine dies you don’t drown.

                  Edit:*
