Joe, I am only guessing because I am not sure just what happened. I believe that the heavy rain and high winds we had last night was more than my boat could stand. I think that some water came in over the side and my bilge pump could not recover quick enough before more came in. Mu boat doesn't sit very high in the back and I can see (now) how easily it can take on water when tied to a dock. I thought about taking it out of the water yesterday but I just thought it would handle the rain just fine. It would save me some time the next morning and I wouldn't have to fight all the tournament traffic at the boat ramp. I didn't realize (or even think) that the lake was going to get as rough as it did. I made a poor judgment decision based on the boat has been in the water in some pretty stiff winds for a week now with no issues. I have an auto bilge pump that is brand new and has been working fine for me. It rarely comes on but it works just fine. Hind sight is 20/20, but you can bet I'll be putting it on my trailer from now on. Like I mentioned before, this kind of thing happens to "other" people and today I was the "other" person!!!!

Tim. I had a 35 steel hull Chris craft Roamer sink in the middle of winter tied to a gas dock and a bubbler around it. Soo cold out a whiskey drink froze solid in my glass.Used barge pumps to get it up.
