RedactedNarrative: Operator/Owner (Dl) stated in effect: I was trying to get my boat back to the "campers" boat ramp from my campsite. I thought I may have had a leak from rocks under the hull while at anchor yesterday. There was already water in the boat when I departed. While I was headed across the reservoir, more water started filling the boat from the leak and the bilge pump wasn't keeping up. The motor stalled out and I was drifting. Then too much water was in the boat and it capsized, causing me to go into the water.
  
  Investigation revealed: D1 was the operator and sole occupant of Vessel #1 (Vl), which was in Round Valley Reservoir near campsite #83, underway toward the "camper's" boat ramp. Vl had an undetermined amount of water in the bilge from damage Vl sustained the prior day, while at anchor in front of campsite #83. D1 was proceeding to the ramp due to the aforementioned damage and subsequent in-flow of water. The rate at which water was entering the vessel exceeded the rate at which the bilge pump was able to expel it. Water began to flood the deck. The 2.5 horsepower outboard motor then suffered mechanical failure and became inoperable. As Vl was adrift, the free surface effect of the water in the vessel caused the vessel to capsize. D1 was ejected into the water. Campers at a nearby site
  removed D1 from the water with their own vessel. Ultimately, D1 was relayed by NJ Park Police vehicle to the "camper's" boat ramp. South Branch Emergency Services rited Vl and towed it to the "camper's" ramp, where it was secured to shore. The vessel was removed by D1 to his residence.
