Boating is very fun, but very dangerous. Always go through a checklist before launching including all of the legally required necessities and anything that can help you out on the water. Always carry anchors, spare plug, spare prop and prop wrench, small toolkit, extra spark plugs (if its a 2 stroke), etc. And have a plan for action for anything that can happen. And check the bilge every half hour or so if you're unfamiliar with the boat. Most boats seep a little water especially when they get older, but know your limitations and plan accordingly. Happy boating.

If it is plug out and you can start motor, fast forward the water will siphon out of the boat

I had this happen just yesterday. I'm a new boater but no fool. I noticed the boat felt heavy when trying to accelerate and was off to one side more. Then I realized I forgot to put the plug in. It was too deep below the water to reach so I quickly turned the bilge pump on and started driving just fast enough to keep the back end up while pulling the upper deck drain plugs where the scupper valves are. It was enough to get me back to the boat launch grab the trailer pull the boat up onto it and let all the water continue to drain out. Then I was back in the water and back to fishing. Can't lie, it was pretty scary.

Apparently nobody told them when the boat starts sinking to start the motor adjust the trim to ride as high as possible and move just fast enough so it lifts itself back up, and as long as there's not a large gouge or hole in the hull it should be good to make it to shore. Of course if you have a large hole in the hull you're probably just going to rip it apart more but it's still worth a shot at that point.

I here just gun it, if the boat has water coming over back or close to it , that will push the back of the boat straight down and water will kill the engine. First run trim all the way down and give enough throttle to start raising the bake of the boat out of the water. Once there is enough water out you can start planning it out more preferably.

As a coast guardsmen, the most disturbing part of this is they are not wearing jackets. Water temp is probably 50-60, so even tredding, with water over your shoulders you have less then hour before hypothermia kicks in. With jacket, you have 6-8 hours.

That time when I was 12, my friend and I who was also 12 were all the way down an inlet in ocean water that was way rougher then this, and we had no problem getting back despite it taking us over 3 hours at top speed to get back. At speed the water just drain out, and just sit at the back of the boat to ensure at speed there is just enough weight to keep the water out of the bow. Seen it at least 3-4 times in my life, and never was worried until you stopped the engine, etc. Just as soon as you see water get the engines moving to protect from flooding... that's not hard to do... There is almost no excuse for this unless you have simultaneous motor failure, and you spring a leak. But that seems so unlikely....

One thing I have done was install a reducing bushing in my drain plug. Reducing the 3/4" hole (1/2 in pipe) to 3/8" (1/4 in pipe), will reduce the inflow to bilge-pump manageable levels in case of an accident. Boat-lauching can be high-pressure. Especially when traffic, rug-rats, and estrogen are involved.

Simple solution, before backing down the boat ramp, put the plug in. If you forgot, start your engine, put the engine in gear"preferably in forward" idle up a little, keep moving until the water is all gone. Put the plug in, and your emergency is over. Unless you left the plug in your home, with your brain!😊

It is surprising how many people don't know that a boat on plain will drain out the plug hole. As soon as you notice water in the floor get your butt moving. turn on the bilge as someone else suggested.

My first boat was an old aluminum boat that had wings on the back that reminded me of the Batmobile boat 😂..I let my 10 y/o son drive it back to the boat ramp. He was driving as fast as that old Johnson 35 hp would go. I told he to slow down and he shut the motor off. A large wave of water came up over the rear of the boat..I yelled "GET TO LAND, GET TO LAND! He started the boat back up but by then the second wave had filled the back of the boat and it was going under. You could hear that pour old Johnson motor running as it went under the water fighting for its last breath as the rest of the boat continued to sink. ol Johnson got us close enough to shore to where the front bow of the boat looked like a nose poking up for air 😂. Our boat seats and takleboxes and small ice chest was floating. My son was crying as I was gathered up everything floating 😂. I was lucky an old man with wisdom was there to calm me down and talk me through the process of retrieving the boat. I backed my Datson 4X4 down to the water and he had a long strap. My truck was able to pull the boat to the bank of the lake where we alowed the bildge pump to pump out water. The boat started rising in the lake and went into the water and was able to load the boat on my trailer by hand. We put everything back in the boat and learned a lot that day. The boat went under because the back where the motor is attached is open with nothing to help with"back wash". So we learned you couldn't just come to a sudden stop without waves coming into the back of the boat. We had to slowly come to a stop. We got the ol boat home, I found some instructions on what to do if your motor was submerged. Pull the spark plugs, lay it on each side, crank the engine over to spit all the water out of each cylinder. Pour alcohol in each cylinder and crank the motor over to spit all the liquid out. Spray some gas mixed with oil into each cylinder. Put motor back on boat. Clean the spark plug with wire brush, reinstall them, spray some gas in the carboretors, connect garden hose to water pump inlet holes and crank engine over while spraying gas into each carburetor and it started right up.😁 We put fresh gas in the gas tank and took her back to the lake. I left her attached to the trailer while backing the boat far enough into the lake for the motors pump inlet holes to be under water. Cranked it up and let her run for a while to allow the oil from the fresh mixture of oil and gas to relube all internal parts. She ran for several years afterwards and the whole boat was sold because I wanted a real bass boat

A barge came by and my friend's wife says, " Hey honey, were takimg in water." He ignored her and the boat flipped. All the other boats on the lake came to their rescue. He called and said, "Hey buddy, I sank your boat." It didnt sink to the bottom though because of an air pocket. He had it hauled to his house, spent days cleaning every part of the boat. When I got home, the boat looked sparkling show room condition and ran like a gem.

A shore fisherman? Oh you mean a real fisherman.😂

While running jugs by myself i noticed the nose would come up when i took off. I opened the floor storage and it was half full of water. A plastic fitting on the back that went to the livewell had broken---probably from old age! Beached it and let the pump get ahead a little before heading to the boatramp.

My dad grew up on lake Sinclair and has told me he has 3 boats at the bottom of the lake. One was from another boat colliding into his boat. The others were rogue waves and he didn’t have someone there watching him sink instead of pulling his boat to safety!!! He loved his John boats and once those fill with water your in trouble. After the third boat going down he decided to buy a Boston wailer because they’re almost impossible to sink!

I’ve lived by lake st Clair my whole live and always have had a boat on the lake. I would never take a flat bottom John boat out on the lake. The waves can get pretty damn big. Espically during the weekend when there’s alot of boats out and you get big waves from all the boats. Now a whaler is the way to go, they are literally unsinkable. My buddy had an 18ft center counsel and we used to take that thing straight across the lake every weekend in the summer to go party at harsens island and no matter how big the waves were the boat was always fine.

Cant say ive ever had this happen to me. Since i always do my walk around before i launch. But i always have these videos to remind me not to forget to do my checks before hitting the water.

I left plug out. Soon as I realized it I turned bilge pump on. Boat was so heavy it cranked but wouldn’t plane out so I drove it gently on a soft spot on the bank. If your gone sink and the motor or trolling motor will push it let it happen in one or two feet of water. I ran bilge about 2 hrs after getting the plug in.

Got this close Two times with my 21' bass boat. Forgot to put the plug in one time while I was fishing I went to step down from the front deck And stepped in about ten inches of water. I started the boat giving enough gas to help prop push the back of the boat out of the water with the trim run down. After moving forward like that I got enough water out to then start raising the front of the boat up to gain speed to then finally plan out. A course then itcsucked remainder of the water out quickly. Got to launch unprd out ran got the trailer in water and loaded the boat. The second time was like this one I had to jump in water pull the plug and do the same thing I explained earlier. Had the bilge pumps going in both cases, they were just not enough to overcome water intake. Both times, thankfully I was able to save my boat both times. He should have had his friend running the trolen motor helping it to not sink until they could get the boat started and get the plug out so it could drain going down the lake and do whst I explained or something else if other options.

Been in a similar situation when I was 16yr old. We were fishing in lake Jordan when a water spout started and the sky went pitch black. The waves started and were bigger than anything I've ever seen at the beach. 2 waves hit us head on before my dad could get life jackets and my paw paw could drop the trolls motor. We cap sized and held on to the bottom of the boat for about 4hrs before my dad went under and grabbed a rope. He swam as far as he could and was about to drowned when he started to go under he touched a big rock and he pulled us in and swam to shore and pulled us the rest the way. All 3 of us were lucky that night very scary being helpless on the bottom of a bass boat 💯

Everyone keeps saying this, but these boats do not have a removable plug that is accessible from inside. They have a pipe thread garboard plug that is installed from outside the hull using a wrench or socket. You can’t remove or replace it from inside the boat. He would have to get in the water to remove it underwater, with a tool, not lose the plug, get back in the boat and take off. Then if he can actually drive the water out he needs to stop the boat, shut the engine off, get back in the water and replace the plug, all while the boat is refilling with water. Everyone is acting like this boat has an old rubber lever plug from the inside you can just pull out. It doesn’t.
