Just after the boat was hit I took out the multimeter to see if I could get at least some of the equipment back to life again. The meter's LCD screen was pitch black. So the first thing I bought here in Newport was a new multimeter. Two day's later, when I wanted to put the old meter in the box with fried stuff and take the battery out, I switched it on just to see the black screen again. To my surprise the screen was no longer completely black any more, but all digits were 8's. Yesterday I tried the meter again, and it seemed to be working again! But for how long?
