That's because there's no separate engine room for lifeboats in the game's damage model. Hence, you're seeing the same effect you'd see when a merchant's engine room explodes. I'll try to download FotRS and produce a simple fix (essentially, I'll just borrow Duci's work in TMO, there are no exploding life boats there).

ETA: Maybe you should bring this up in the FotRS thread, it appears they're working on a new version of the mod and this fix could easily be implemented. What TMO essentially did was create a new damage zone in Zones.cfg (aptly named LifeBoatEngineRoom), then modify the lifeboat's .zon file to point to the new damage zone. The same thing was done for Sampans, btw.
