RedactedNarrative: Operator 1 was drifting off the coast of Little Cedar Point in Lake Erie.  Operator 1 was preparing to set anchor when waves began to flood the bilge area, where the access cap was missing.  Operator 1 had removed the access cap to work on wiring issues he had with the vessel.  The bilge was unable to keep up with the amount of water entering, and the vessel sank.
