Default Re: Seacraft sinks off Martha's Vineyard

Another friend of mine had a problem last week in his bay boat near Brenton Pt. Swells came over the 20" notch when switching tanks, the other 3 in the boat were bailing from the bow while trying to get restarted. Couldn't as too much water mixed into the 2nd tank. They were able to bail enough to get towed up the bay a bit.

wasn't your time to go guys...boats can be replaced,people can't be.i'm very glad to hear you guys came out well from this - coulda been real bad


take a lesson from this:
high bilge water alarm - any boat should have one installed - wired to be "hot" at all times - very easy to do - not sure how - ask,i'll gladly tell you how to do it

second bilge pump - wired to a seperate power source - meaning,2 batteries - 2 power sources - stagger the pumps - each battery powers a pump - this keeps the pumps independent of each other.

I completely agree, with your back up pump 1 to 2" higher with it's own battery. Plus in my case it pumps out of the oposite side of the boat. If I see water pumping from the starboard side I know I have issues with my main pump which pumps out of the port side.
