RedactedNarrative: SEC HONO received a relayed report from Station Kauai of a 17ft white Mako vessel (HA-2162-G) that was taking on water 1 NM offshore Black Mountain, Kauai with 1 POB. The gentleman came down on speed as he was reeling in a fish and realized there was water up to his ankles. In an attempt to dewater his vessel, he turned on his bilge pump but it was inoperable. He called Kauai Dispatch who called Station Kauai. STA Kauai launched a 45' RB-M transferred the mariner off the bow of his vessel as the stern was already underwater. When he disembarked, the vessel sank and flipped upside down.
  He was carrying 40-60 gallons of gasoline on board. STA Kauai recovered 2 coolers and some fishing gear. The gentleman did not require medical attention.
