On Saturday August 7th Officer was driving over the mile long bridge on Saylorville Lake at approximately 5:30 Pm to assist Water Patrol Officer when Officer observed a tube out in the water on the south side of the mile long bridge along with some debris.  Upon arriving at the marina Officer found out that a boat had sunk in the area where Officer saw the debris and tube floating in the water.  At that time all passengers that were on the boat had made it to the dock at the marina with the assistance from another boat.  Officer determined that there were no injuries and everybody that was onboard was accounted for.  The operator told Officer that he was pulling a tube over by Lincoln access and the mile long bridge at that time operator saw water coming in his boat and then lifted up the lid to the engine compartment and observed water rushing in down by the motor.  When the boat was removed from the lake 30 feet below the surface, the Marina crew said that the plate on the jet pump had come loose and they put it back on and the plug was missing which would have caused water to rush into the boat
