At approximately 1000 hours on Wednesday June 7th 2023, Subject was fishing on Lake Sinclair in the area of Rooty Creek when he noticed his vessel was taking on water. He tried to speed up some to get the water to the rear of the boat but realized just how much water he had taken on. He got the boat close to shore and was able to make it to shore himself. He contacted the DNR Region 3 office to notify a game warden in the area of what happened. Cpl responded. Sea Tow recovered the vessel. The cause of the vessel sinking appears to be a faulty water intake on the port side of the stern causing extensive damage to electronics and other equipment.
