What do I do if my boat is taking on water.

If you can safly reach the drain plug, pullit out and start moving, the water will siphon out, have done it. Check your bige pump as often as you can, if it isn't working, dont launch!My new boat at present does not have a bilge pump, I bought a bailer pump, and it will work, but why are you taking on water?My cousins brand new bass boat had a factory defect, the torque from the motor caused a seam leak at the transom, he needed to sue the company to have it fixed.But if all else fails, beach it!

Im not taking on water. I was curious as to what to do if the occasion ever presented itself, or if I needed to help another angler on the water.
