Had my boat serviced this year. First trip after getting it back the wife and I hit LH for her first time there. As we are putting the boat in she asks "Did you put the drain plug in?" So I say sure did....About an hour and a half later I come down off the front deck and step in a puddle all around the console area. So I'm like ...I must not have put that plug in. As I'm cursing myself out I come to find that the plug is in but the the guys that serviced the boat had broken the inbound hose connection off of my live well pump! There had to be 200 gallons of water in the bottom of my boat. (16 ft Tracker Deep V) The water was up to the top of my batteries and filled the bottom of the boat. To which my wife said I thought the boat felt "funny" when we launched!

Thank God the bilge pump worked like a charm. But that was the end to our day as had no tools onboard to do a repair. At least I know my boat is hard to sink!
