       On the above date, contact was made with Vessel owner. Same stated that he was there on November 26th and had not noticed that the vessel was taking on water.  When he returned on Monday the vessel was partially submerged. He then hired Sun Dock Marina, located in DowneTownship, Cumberland County, to recover the vessel and make repairs.  I responded to Sun Dock Marina to continue the investigation.  It was learned that the vessel sunk due to a failed onboard wash down pump.  The marina stated that when they floated the vessel it was observed that there was as leak at the intake fitting for the wash down pump.  The leak was significant enough to render the bilge pump inefficient.  The incident was determined to be accidental.  No signs of suspicious activity was observed.
  There were no witnesses for this accident.
  No further action required.
