The operator was returning to his slip when he heard an alarm go off on the boat which indicated a "System Failure". He opened the engine hatch and noticed that water was pouring in from an apparent broken freeze plug, causing water to fill the bilge. The water was coming in so fast, that it covered the batteries and half of the engine. The operator felt as if the boat was about to sink, so he decided to ground the boat on the beach.
