RedactedNarrative: A vessel was entering a choppy pass and sunk as a result of swamping and mechanical error.
  
  Subject stated that he and two females left from Maximo Boat and headed towards Johns Pass to visit the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.  At approximately 1530 hours, as Subject entered into the Johns Pass Channel between markers 1 and 2, his vessel ran out of gas.  Subject immediately began to switch the gas tanks to get the motor started again.  During the time the vessel was not under power, waves began to crash over the stern of the vessel (V1) causing the vessel to swamp.  Subject realized at this moment that his vessel (V1) was going to sink so he put his PFD on and flagged a nearby vessel.  The good Samaritan vessel arrived and rescued the three occupants and took them to the Freedom Boat Club dock on Treasure Island. During my interview with Subject, he stated that his bilge would only work if he manually connected it to the battery.  Subject stated that his bilge was never on because it was not connected and that he never attempted to connect it because his battery was under water.  
  
  It was explained to Subject the importance of locating his vessel (V1) and removing it. No information was obtained about the good Samaritan vessel.  Officer of the Treasure Island Police Department stated that the vessel (V1) was last seen between markers 1 and 2 with part of the vessel (V1) sticking up out of the water.  I searched the area for the vessel (V1) but was unable to locate it.
