My boat almost sank. It had a leak and the bilge pump had stopped working. I floored both motors and got it going and pulled the drain plug. Once it all drained out I put it back in and went back in. Easy peasy.
The drain plug is on the outside of the boat between the motors at the bottom of the vee. Its easy to remove, bend between the motors and lift the flange and pull. The water drains out.
is there bilge pumps going, I can't see anything pumping, or what about a external pump placed on board why isn't that happening, the coast guard would have that
I was told by another race boat captain that he was going 80 in his boat when this green boat passed him like he was standing still. After a while the captain caught up to the green boat, where he saw it out on lake michigan with the back motors fully under water. Charlivoix is known for its large boulders. The thought was the green boat may have hit one. Everyone on the green boat was evacuated. Sherrif and coast gaurd was sent out. He was pulled in by another boat.
Obviously, you haven't had this experience...It's all about prop-wash..If it's a fan prop you get more air bubbles ...If he was behind the large boat, well-it depends ..@@alfpaulsen3210
I can only suggest ,if you have the opportunity, that you get behind a tugboat in a 22 ft Bayboat ....About 50 ft should convince you..Experience is a great teacher .. @@xxlxpman

How were you able to pull your drain plug from inside the boat while it’s on plane? And then you were able to put it back in? Sounds like fake news!

Ashley, thank you for letting me know what may of happened. 👍
Turbo charger engaged? "check", Fuel pressure system engaged? "check", Multi-engine prop coordinator engaged? "check", Boat plug engaged? 😳
Ahh Boat plug,..I read that too fast,..🤭...
@@westboundbadgerbutt plug on your mind 😂
Had its plugs in, they struck rocks and tore up the hull pretty bad
The owner is a great guy, thank god everyone is ok and safe
Beautiful green boat!
Never forget the Flexseal!
5-gallons of gasoline and a match: "Let me show ya' something."
Thankfully Randy Scism is at Boyne Thunder. Hopefully get him up and running for today 👍🏻
Glad no injuries… bad stuff happens very quickly
It's not sinking - the guy behind the wheel just has such giant cajones that the boat sits really low when not at full throttle.
Are green MTIs cursed? The green one rhat took out the trees in Louisiana now this one hit a Rock 😢
Boat is futt bugly.

Thats a nice place.
Thats what young straight men have to worry about these days too...
Where was the sinking part?
The back
Like everyone else glad everyone was OK but like everyone else, I wanted to know, what happened?

Click-bait...this boat is impossible to sink, even completely flooded... DUH
Did I miss where he was driving the boat??
From my experience -if you get directly behind the wake of another boat you will sink ..... air bubbles
wrong

Not wrong!! Really, really wrong!!

I'd hardly call a boat with outboard motors a thunder boat.
what happened ? hit a rock ?
I think that is what happened. Not 100% Sure
Nothing happened. Why did we watch this?
Yes hit a rock
Did it have a hole . 💩
I am not sure what happened, what I was told is that the boat hit a rock that was underwater.
That’s what she said
