RedactedNarrative: On, 4 July, 2015, at approximately 1645, I Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission arrived at the Morning Star Marina located in Mayport, Florida to investigate a boating accident that took place on 03 July, 2015 at approximately 0644. 
  
  I met with the Boat operator/owner and interviewed him. There were five occupants on board when the vessel capsized. I spoke with all the occupants by telephone and there were no injuries reported. The owner and the occupants were able to get help from the United States Coast Guard and they were safely removed prior to the boat capsizing. Sea tow arrived on scene and tried to pump the water out of the boat but was unable to do so, which resulted in the vessel turning over. Sea Tow was able to secure the boat to their vessel, which prevented it from sinking. Once secured, Sea Tow towed the vessel approximately 3.5 miles to Morning Star Marina, which was the nearest Marina. 
  
  When I arrived at the marina, the boat was out of the water and sitting on a lift. There were no signs of previous damage to the Hull. It was undetermined how the water entered the vessel. From my experience and training, the only thing I could determine why the vessel would have taking on water would be the following. 
  
  1) Bilge and Livewell Hoses not properly connected, allowing water to flood the inner hull 
  2) The drain plug not inserted 
  3) The swim deck compartment caps not on, allowing water to enter the hull over the transom 
  4) The seal around the rub rail which secures the inner hull to the hull 
  
  Since I was not on scene at the time of the incident, I have no way of determining if the plug was in. I looked at the valves where the livewell and saltwater washdown and both lines looked fine at that point.
