Operator for vessel #1 stated the his bilge pump had not been working properly. While out fishing on Lake Huron he had opened a compartment to the bilge to try and correct the problem when a wave had come over the transom and filled the bilge with water. Subjects from vessel #1 began waving their arms for help and were rescued by another vessel who was able to get all three subjects off the vessel and tied on and towed into shore. No injuries occurred.  Vessel #1 was water damaged but was pumped out and taken home.
