I left my plug out if the boat for the first time a few weeks ago.
Never saw my bilge work, ever. That thing was pumping and pumping out the side, then it would stop for a few seconds, then go again for a while. I turned white when I realized what happened, my truck was parked and we were pushing off the dock, luckily I could reach to put the plug in, but got half of my body and face wet. It was cold too.
Also, first time I ever launched and loaded a boat I decided to hit declare launch in the summer on a Saturday, figured I may as well get it out if the way! The wind was blowing and it was PACKED with nice boats, and me with my flat bottom tiller. I had to tie up on the canal, then back down, then get in my boat and try to maneuver into the slip with the wind and currents shoving me past the opening a couple times. I just kept laughing and wishin someone would start hollering so i could have a squab
