Vessel #1 experienced engine problems the day before this incident.  Vessel was underway when engine failed and had to be towed back to the owner’s dock.  Vessel was found sunk near the dock area and examination of the boat when recovered revealed that the I/O seal was leaking and the boat filled with water.  The bilge pump was inoperable because  the owner removed the battery after the vessel was towed in the previous day.  Vessel is a total loss at $8,000.
