RedactedNarrative: While on patrol by Keewaydin Beach I noticed the vessel’s stern was sitting low into the water.  Once near the vessel and talking to the operator I was notified they had a faulty bilge pump.  Operator had contacted Sea Tow commercial tow for assistance.  Sea Tow was unsuccessful to pump out the water in time. The occupants of the vessel tried leveling out the vessel to slow the water flow but made it worse.
  
  Later the next day, Operator contacted a family friend with a large vessel to lift the stern and tow the vessel back to the boat ramp.  It was then brought to Sawyer’s Marine mechanic shop for further inspection and to find the cause of the problem.     
  
  According to inspection and further investigation, it has been concluded that Operator’s stern hatch had a bad seal and was not sealed properly.  The amount of water inside the hull caused the bilge pump to stop working.
