[Electric Boats] brushed motors inside boat

 

So Canada and the US both disallow the use of brushed motors inside a boat if it has a propane stove. Yet several of the well respected, by this list, purveyors of pre-assembled options use: Perm or Lemco (all variations of brushed Lynch motors).

My question: is this (use of brushed motors inside) a serious issue (assuming all the proper propane use precautions, such as turning off gas at tank when not in use, shut off switches in cabin, and sniffers), or is it an example of poor self management leading to regulation that with proper management is not needed.

Brushed motors have significant advantages that obviously lead some towards their use. Yet burning in a boat at sea is not something to be laughed at.

Looking forward to a lively discussion.
