It is scary how fast a boat fills up through a hole the size of you finger. Any boat I ever own will always have 2 bilge pumps, they are worth their weight in gold. I have forgotten twice and the second time it was a race to see if I could find the plug before it touched bottom while tied to the dock still. Oh and two cops watching it happen, not bothering to yell at me and tell me there is anything wrong as I walk back to the dock after parking the truck. Assholes.
