RedactedNarrative: After reviewing the written statements, of those who located the capsized vessel, and examining the vessel, the following can be concluded.  On 2-20-16 Victim1 and Victim2 went fishing on Lake Marion in Clarendon County.  They launched the vessel from Alex Harvin landing, and were fishing in the area of lakevue landing when the vessel capsized.  When the vessel was recovered the key was in the off position and the throttle was in the Neutral position, therefore no one was operating the vessel at the time of the incident.  Upon examining the vessel, the scupper hose on the rear starboard side of the vessel was found to have been broken.  This broken hose allowed the vessel to take on water and caused the vessel to capsize.  When the vessel capsized, both Victim1 and Victim2 went into the water.  Several vessels in the area went to provide assistance but did not reach the victims in time to save them.
  
  The contributing factor in this boating fatality is fault of equipment; the broken scupper hose caused the vessel to take on water and capsized the vessel.
