RedactedNarrative: Vessel #1 was found by patrol drifting near channel low in the water. Officers discovered vessel was continually taking on water with bilge pump not working properly. Vessel was hip towed away from channel to avoid being swamped by passing boats and continued sinking. Vessel eventually sank to the bottom despite all efforts made by officers. 
  The following day, I made contact with boat owners to ascertain why the vessel was taking on water. I was advised that after the boat was pulled out of the water, it was determined that the water was intruding through the live well hose line, that somehow disconnected from the bottom of the boat. This in combination of the bilge pump unable to not keep up, which caused the boat to take on water and sink. Owner advised that they were able to get the outboard motor started this morning with out any issues.
