If a line was open underwater for some reason and the water was "electrified" you wouldn't be able to enter the water anyway. That's an interesting question I'd never thought about. 
The little plastic props on the well pump size dock circulators probably wouldn't do much to you, but there are some pretty heavy duty props like at the Wolfeboro Mt. Washington tie up that would probably cut you up!  |
From my experiances in the electronics industry, current takes the path of least resistance to ground. I believe water offers less resistance then that of the human body. But I'm not positive.
