Boat Sunk at the dock
2 Attachment(s)
My boat filled up with rain and sunk at the dock. During recovery it was completely submerged. What all needs to be replaced? Does anyone have any experience with insurance claims. Any tips for dealing with the insurance. I'm hoping they total it.

boat doesn't have a self bailing hull? that sucks.. or an auto-bilge....
sorry for your loss man.... how long was it submerged? |
Self bailing hull? auto bilge? Man things sure changed since I last had one. How does that work in this situation?

A self bailing hull would allow rain water to flow off the floor of the boat and out the back of the transom. All boats have that now days. I don?t even understand how this happened. That boat shouldn?t have sunk. And auto bildge.... well that?s self explanatory. It has a float switch. |
Fresh or saltwater?? All batteries,all fluids, belt if it's a 4stroke. Two strokes carbs need to be rebuilt either one pull the plugs and fill cylinders with oil. Spray all wires and connections in the entire boat that you can get to and try to get to some you can't with corrosion X.

Probably womt be totaled because no damage to hull/transom

There is only a manual bilge pump. My next boat will have a float switch. I believe the way the boat was angled it didn't allow it to self bail. It was submerged about 14 hours in fresh water. The adjuster is coming Friday to assess the damage.

No big deal. Get the engine running asap after bringing it up. Google how to do it. Why would they total a boat for being in the water?

Is that a 220 Baypro ? Elcel ? I figured there would have been flotation to at least hold it level ?

I've brought a boat back to life after a similar situation. It's really not that bad. The hardest part of a situation like that is getting the boat out of the water and back on a trailer where you can work on it. Easy from there

That net holder is awesome! Even after the airbags were deployed, the net is still in it's original spot!
