I would add that if you beach your boat at Longpoint park which pushes the bow up a bit some water can come in the back as well becuase the scuppers/ping pong balls will be just below the water line. Then if your bilge access leaks and you do not have a float switch on your bilge pump you could potentially wake up at 6am with a boat/bilge full of water. Speaking hypothetically of course!
Who needs coffee to wake you up when you look in your boat and see water up to the console!!!
Needless to say a float switch is now on the list as well as a new livewell drain pump which quit working this past weekend.
