If it was a pretty good jolt, it had to be more than 30VAC. I worked on 12-48VDC all my life and I don't feel 48VDC. When working on telephone lines, I don't feel 48VDC (idle line voltage)... however if ringing voltage (90VAC) happens, my eyes open wide!

I'm wondering if the water heater element is faulty, along with the body ground to shore line is faulty. The element has a low resistance to the element case (ground) when then passed through you to ground.

Another good reason to have GFI protection on your shore power.
