  On 05/28/2015, at about 11:30 a.m., this vessel was drifting in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, near Port Angeles, WA in Clallam county.
  
  The two were halibut fishing North of Green Point on the 31-36.  It was foggy and the water conditions were choppy.  Operator noticed that his boat was taking on water.  He discovered later that the water proof boot where the motor and steering controls passed through the transom had failed allowing water to enter the bilge.  Operator saw his bilge pump wasn't working.  He checked the bilge and found the mounting block the bilge pump was attached to had come loose from the hull and the pump was floating on top of the water.  
  
  The transom went down, a wave washed over the transom and the boat overturned.  Operator and occupant got up on top of the hull that was now floating upside down.  It was foggy and Operator couldn't seen anything.  About 2 1/2 hours later another fisherman happened to stumble upon Operator and occupant and rescued them.
