Well done Capt. Dont listen to all the armchair skippers, it's real easy to criticize and speculate from an easy chair. Get them out single handed in a 15 knot wind with a 5 knot current and let's sea how they do then. Keep up the great work😎🌴👍🏻
I think it went well for his first Solo Parbuckle. He learned more of what he should do next time. Got it Righted, Drained and back to the dock without getting hurt or hurting anyone else. So it is a Successful Recovery. Great Job, Nicely Done.
I agree! I know nothing about boating but thought you did a great job, let alone it being your first time and also being by yourself! Keep up the awesome work!
Hey Ken, anybody could do that job with a mate; you did just fine without one and you did good too! Like an old boss of mine used to say when I asked for a replacement tool, "anybody could do the job with tools."
Single handed is tough…keep your deck clean and lines “organized/wrapped”…takes a minute but saves time in the long run and is MUCH SAFER, made me nervous a few times thinking you might trip or get wrapped up, not to mention the lines tangling with each other. Just meant to be advice not criticize…the OCD in me isn’t always practical but in this case would help be more safe, effective and efficient 😊
You're right, I wasn't well prepared for this job. The transom was under water, so even a large gas pump wouldn't have been able to pump the boat dry. That's why I needed it to drain a bit first before I put the pump on there
You're definitely right. A clean deck is much safer and generally more efficient. I would've been more concerned if I had someone else on board, but I was aware of which lines were in use and made sure to stay clear of them. I usually keep a pretty clean deck, but I was a bit overwhelmed here seeing as I was figuring this all out on the fly
@@CaptKenO i completely understand being a bit overwhelmed…you did awesome especially first time solo for this maneuver. Kuddos for not only reaching out to “BOSS” for confirmation but for leaving it in the video…too many people want to pretend that there is no learning curve and that they were masters straight out of diapers lol…that being said… you admitted the ropes were hazard to yourself even stated you would’ve been more careful if others were on board, the fact that you were alone makes it even more important because everything is fine until it isn’t…great job. A successful tow, only advice once again is to work on a plan to have things in place (hooks, buckets, Velcro wraps, etc) to have an even better experience next time…trust me it will/would help with being less overwhelmed. Messy deck is a messy mind no matter how much you understand or know of the organized chaos 😊
Thanks Josh! It would also help if I knew what I was getting into before I went out so I could've brought the proper equipment. The call came in, but the person who called wasn't exactly sure what the situation was either, so all I was told was "there's a boat on lido that we need you to go and look at because we don't have any info on the situation" 🤦♂️
I you could mount a quick release to the stern line you wouldn't have to cut the line. The equalizing could be done with the bow line. You did a very good job , being alone.
Hi guy just found and subscribed to your channel Excellent video ! Excellent seamsn ship ! Back in 1967 I worked on a fising trawler in lake Erie for a fellow named Miller He has passed on now but anybody from the area knows who i am talking about Miller had been thru the 2nd world war tough as nail his hands a big as dinner plates he didnt say much but when Miller spoke you listened ! We were commong back from trailing into port Dover Ontario there is a reef and a booy marking the reef a mile off the harbour The lake was flat Two guys had their runabout tied to the buoy fishing when we rounded the buoy going at our crusing speed our wake curled over itself and sunk their boat ! I looked back ans saw them bobbing in the water with just the bow of the boat sticking up I told Miller wkat happened Miller said "what in the hell are they doing there ? I guess we had better pick them up " We pulled them aboard and put a heavy line on the bow of their boat Miller put the trawler right back up to cruising speed The runabout was rooling over round and round in the wake abou 100 feet back When we got to port dover it sank when the wrecker pulled the runabout up out of the water all there was was the bow of the boat water pressure ripped the runabout right in half ! Have a great day
QUESTION: How does the camera know where to look????? Remote control by the boss??? I am really curious and would be grateful for an answer. Regards and Thanks, Peter
Hey Peter! Pure magic ! 😁 Seriously though, it's a 360 camera, so it records in a sphere around the camera and then I can "point" it anywhere I want when editing the video. Pretty cool isn't it?!
WOW This is the first time i have even seen such a great organised recovery of a Boat this way. How did it sink in the first place front first or through though the rear Transom. Well done to this guy how he maanouvered it just right every time nd his patience were great as well. Another Boat saved and not lost to become floating junk in the peistine waters of the World. Aussie Bob.
Nice work Ken, we have done that with a small 12 footer with an outboard that filled and went nose up due to a leak but never seen it done on a much larger boat...
By golly, you got yourself another subscriber with this one! Nicely done! This is only the second video of yours that I've seen. It usually takes more to get me hooked lol
👋👋new follower here. Like what you are doing. Be fun to watch you grow. If not to much trouble, could u leave the text on screen just a few seconds longer. Hard for us visually challenged to keep up. Content is great though😊👍
I watch just about every TH-cam channel just like this one. I see countless boats of every shape, style and brand. This is the first Bayliner shown to have sunk. Do these have a reputation of sinking in more often than others?
From personal experience. No. I wouldn't say they do. The build quality is just subpar. For example, the T Top was screwed into the fiberglass with only a half dozen screws, instead of bolts and backing plates
Great job doing that single handed, especially given it’s your first time. I’ve only ever seen it done with at least two people, and with one person slowly releasing the stern line as the boat gets on the plane. I would imagine that the submerged t-top could do some damage to a hull or lower unit if anyone hit it.
What brand and size line are you running for your towing gear? Looking to switch on all of my towboats, I'm on inland lakes and river towboat ports in the desert heat so my gear gets abused. Just considering switching and enjoy watching the videos while it's too cold for boaters to be out playing on my waterways!
Thanks Bryan! My boss is friends with a rigging supplier, so he got some leftover line from a production run, but I believe it's the 9/16 Plasma 12 strand made by Cortland. It's minimum tensile strength is ~38k lbs, so you'll probably never even come close to breaking it
Bayliner has a new model in 2025 coming out with a glass bottom, rumor has it its so you can see the previous years models that line the bottom of the oceans.
Is that Big S Pass? I love that park on South Lido. Everytime i visit Florida, i go there and south to Caspersen. Such a beautiful area. You have the best job! Just started watching channel. Love it. Next time you're through downtown, stop by El Melvin Cocina Mexicana and say hi to Mitch and Jeff.
Several years ago a friend of mine bought a brand new Bayliner I think it was a 185 Sterndrive. Two weeks later all the eggcrate used for sound deadening started falling off the engine compartment. I didn’t know much about boats back then but it looked cheaply made and unfinished to me. Not judging just my impressions.
Couldn't you have used just one piece of ground tackle, as in an anchor attached to the rear cleat closest to the tug boat, going to an anchor set in the sand away from the flipped boat, opposite the tug boat. Then attach your lines, as you did, and just pull away from the flipped boat. The anchor would drag, just a bit, but as you pull, the boat would flip over, right side up. Let go the line to the anchor and pull the boat up out of the water as you did. Might have been easier on the "super structure ".?? Just a thought.
nice job, really interesting, creative writing skills on steroids! (AI), do you weave/braid the line back together?.. I know they do it on winch lines.
Beautiful handling. My only complaint is the fisheye lens makes this really hard to watch. You need a decent camera. That Bayliner's hull is a prime example of why you should never beach your boat.
For this particular maneuver, no, I probably could've gotten away with less line. However, in this situation, I needed to get to deeper water so I wouldn't be hitting bottom when my stern dips under load
You are expected to do a lot on that vessel. Our rescue vessel has 3 crew members. The difference is we are volunteers so paying us is not an option. The safety authority for Australia nominates the number of crew members for certain types of vessels and the operating offshore limits. Couldn’t you have let out the stern line when she righted herself in stead of cutting the rope? Well done!
Yes. It took on too much water... 😂 Seriously though, it was a combination of a failed bilge pump, a missing transom cover, and waves coming over the transom because it was beached
It's actually a 360 camera, so I can change the POV to any direction when editing the footage. If you go back and look at my videos from last year, you'll see they're a fixed POV except for the ones where I had a gopro on my head
Great job, especially by yourself. I don't understand why you didn't have someone working with you ? From a safety and efficiency standpoint , 2 people just makes more sense to me.
You recognized the boat had enough water to want to pitch back over, but your lines could have killed you. Take the line you know is clear, and quickly wrap it around a cleat and gas it. It'll be faster and safer. And yes, barnacles hurt. I was glad to see you put the shoes on. I know it can get crazy on deck with lines everywhere, but please get a system down. Without a crew and only having little guidance, you did a fantastic job. Glad you didn't get a limb in those lines after you gassed it and are here to talk about.
Thanks Bonvivant! I knew which line was the "live" line (and that it was already tied off to the tow post) and made sure I was clear of it before gunning it...but yeah, still not the safest situation to have all those lines and hoses on deck. I'm usually good about keeping a clean deck for that reason, but I was a bit overwhelmed here if you couldn't tell 🤫
No one knows for sure, but my guess is with it beached, it took a few waves over the stern which was enough to drop it below the water, and then it quickly filled up and rolled
Thanks Roger! Salvage law is a tricky thing. In this instance though, the boat wasn't abandoned since we were hired to refloat it and bring it back to the dock
Thanks for sharing cool maneuver to get that baby flipped. Just a suggestion nothing critical during editing you might want to fast forward more sections just to shorten the vid some.
Thanks Brian! Andrewh isn't too far off. It was partly an operator error and partly a boat club failure. The bilge hatch was missing which let the water in and the bilge pump wasn't working...but the club member beached the boat (which they weren't supposed to do with that boat) and with it beached, the stern was low and took waves over the stern
When by yourself you should definitely have some sort of kill switch, if you ever had a foot wrapped around one of those lines and you give it throttle then walk to the back of the boat you can consider yourself fish food Imho. Impressive solo job none the less.
Thanks Mate! It would take a lot of work to get my foot stuck in a line, give the boat throttle, and then walk to the back of the boat and fall overboard... But it could happen 😂 A kill switch isn't going to help though, because in order to walk to the back of the boat I'd have to disconnect it. I do have a knife on my life jacket and a plb, so if I do fall overboard, the boat may be gone, but the coast guard will know where to pick me up
Yes it is. It took on a lot of water over the stern. Not sure exactly how boats roll over when they sink, but my guess would be that they don't fill with water evenly, so one side will be a bit heavier than the other
I guess the good news is how often they scoop air and remain afloat, how many times have we seen people sitting on the overturned bottom of a boat?@@CaptKenO
I can't belive no one is talking about trim all these craft can handle these waters if they would use trim,power at the right time,and most of all common sense and safety
We can't store enough energy in this line to have it snap back violently. It's polypropylene, so it has a little bit of stretch, but very little recoil
I suggest you do a little more explaining as to what you're doing along the way. For instance were you stuffing life jackets into a hole on the stern or????
nutten to it when ya got yo shit together. Ain't no better bilge pump than a 5 gallon bucket in the hands of a man who can not swim. I always try to bring both.
Lmao 🤣 I'd like to see him compete against a good bilge pump and see how long he could keep it up for! 😁 Both are definitely good to have for when the electric one quits
Well done Capt. Dont listen to all the armchair skippers, it's real easy to criticize and speculate from an easy chair. Get them out single handed in a 15 knot wind with a 5 knot current and let's sea how they do then. Keep up the great work😎🌴👍🏻
Thanks Captain!

Thanks Beachcouple!
I agree! I know nothing about boating but thought you did a great job, let alone it being your first time and also being by yourself!
Keep up the awesome work!
I'm impressed with the way you handled this alone.
Thanks Susie!
Captain Ken. Job was not text book, but it was effective. Each day is a new experience and a chance to learn something. Nicely done.
Thanks Amrak! I'll definitely do better on the next one
That’s pretty impressive all by yourself you’re definitely a pro at this
Thanks Kevin! I wouldn't say professional at this yet, but I'll definitely be better the next time
I thought I was good with my invisible helper but this guy is great.
Great seamanship. And you seemed so calm. An example for the rest of us! Thanks.
Thanks John! Panicking never helps a situation get easier, so remaining calm is important! 😁
@@CaptKenO That's the truth. I used to be a volunteer with our local marine rescue.
(Queensland Australia)
Calm is king.
@johnx9318 That's awesome! So you probably saw plenty of people panicking and making situations soooo much worse than they would've been otherwise
Hey Ken, anybody could do that job with a mate; you did just fine without one and you did good too! Like an old boss of mine used to say when I asked for a replacement tool, "anybody could do the job with tools."
Hahaha. Thanks Mikey! What would you want to use tools for? That would make the job way too easy 😂
Good job with the parbuckling, on your own, and first time! Respect. 😎
Thanks Max!
Well done, captain.
Thanks Dave!

That's really a cool thing to do ... more people need to be like you ...
Thanks Michael!
Bayliners doing what they do best, lining the bottoms of the bays...
That about sums it up 😂
@@CaptKenO 🤣🤣🤣
Safe to say, if you leave that rear bilge inspection port open with wake over the stern, any boat will take on water and sink.
Very true. Probably very few bilge pumps on this size of boat that could keep up with that amount of water
Not bad for your first capsized recovery....Captain Ron
..
I second the comments about doing this by yourself the first time, great job.
Thanks Paul!
you got it done and got some valuable experience. good work.
Fantastic recovery, especially by yourself!
Thanks Kevin!
Best part is the guy at the end!
did you go back and get the consul and bimini t top
There is a part 2 video... You'll have to watch that to see😉
Awesome to watch how a boat rescue is performed , takes a lot of skill and know how to complete the task.
Thanks Juan!
Well done capt.
Thanks mate!
That's a huge workload for one dude, well done
Thanks Clint!
Man, you really know how to handle a boat/boats. Military? That was excellent work!
Thanks oldschool! Nope. No military service. Just a natural ability!
@@CaptKenO Well, your handling looks completely natural. Good work capitan.
Greetings from the BIG SKY .of Montana. You've got your hands full.
a lot of work for one person, good job
Thanks Timmii!
I you could mount a quick release to the stern line you wouldn't have to cut the line. The equalizing could be done with the bow line. You did a very good job , being alone.
Cool maneuver!!
Thanks mate!
Nice work, but who cleans up the mess left behind? Isn't the top of the boat left by the island?
@@scott5747 I did. Watch the 2nd video on this recovery
Hi guy just found and subscribed to your channel
Excellent video !
Excellent seamsn ship !
Back in 1967
I worked on a fising trawler in lake Erie for a fellow named Miller
He has passed on now but anybody from the area knows who i am talking about
Miller had been thru the 2nd world war tough as nail his hands a big as dinner plates
he didnt say much but when Miller spoke you listened !
We were commong back from trailing into port Dover Ontario there is a reef and a booy marking the reef a mile off the harbour
The lake was flat
Two guys had their runabout tied to the buoy fishing
when we rounded the buoy going at our crusing speed our wake curled over itself and sunk their boat !
I looked back ans saw them bobbing in the water with just the bow of the boat sticking up
I told Miller wkat happened
Miller said "what in the hell are they doing there ?
I guess we had better pick them up "
We pulled them aboard and put a heavy line on the bow of their boat
Miller put the trawler right back up to cruising speed
The runabout was rooling over round and round in the wake abou 100 feet back
When we got to port dover it sank
when the wrecker pulled the runabout up out of the water all there was was the bow of the boat water pressure ripped the runabout right in half !
Have a great day

It was beached and took wakes over the stern. Bilge pump failed and the rest is history
Just to get ahead of the program I skooched up to the edge of my seat before I read your narrative. Boy was I glad.

Nice work Ken, we have done that with a small 12 footer with an outboard that filled and went nose up due to a leak but never seen it done on a much larger boat...
Thanks Vancity!
Nice Trick... learn something everyday... even when you are older than dirt, like me !
Do you go back and get the t-top and other items that fell out of the boat,or is that the customers job?
You'll have to watch the follow up video to see... 😉
@@CaptKenO LOL I just saw you made a video of the Top recover, thank you!!! Excellent job BTW!!!!!!!
@zulgadams5837 haha. Thanks mate! Glad you liked it
Nice work. A heck of a lot better than I could do.
Great job, now will the t-top and console also be recovered? I think it can be seen on the sandy bottom where you parbuckled the boat.
Watch the follow up video to see 😊
I see you have a lot going on there. Good job well done

Why do 2023 bayliners have a glass bottom??... so you can see the 2022 models!
Lmao 🤣
I read that wrong the first time and didn't understand it...read it again and died
I watch just about every TH-cam channel just like this one. I see countless boats of every shape, style and brand. This is the first Bayliner shown to have sunk. Do these have a reputation of sinking in more often than others?
From personal experience. No. I wouldn't say they do. The build quality is just subpar. For example, the T Top was screwed into the fiberglass with only a half dozen screws, instead of bolts and backing plates
@@CaptKenO did that cause it to sink ?
Great job doing that single handed, especially given it’s your first time. I’ve only ever seen it done with at least two people, and with one person slowly releasing the stern line as the boat gets on the plane.

Thanks Robbie!
Tough gig all singlehanded!! Might have been able to bring back the whole boat if you had some help!
That t top was screwed from the moment the boat capsized. it was only held to the deck with 6 screws. not even bolted in
Inquiring mind want to know what happen to the boat @ 31:10 ( couldn’t hear over the radio).
The transom cover was missing. Took water over the stern. Sunk
What year and model cat are you running captain? Very impressive work also ! Love your videos!
Thanks numlock! I don't know the year (I want to say that 2002...) but it's a 28ft prokat with 2x 300hp Suzukis

Hey Jason. Yes it is.
I almost never go to downtown SRQ, but if I do, I'll be sure to stop by
Did you go back to get the T-top? or will someone hit it later.
Watch the follow up video to see...🙄
how did they do that to the boat and its a bayliner was there even a point to save it ?
Don't know exactly how it ended up in that situation, but you also can't just leave it there
Several years ago a friend of mine bought a brand new Bayliner I think it was a 185 Sterndrive. Two weeks later all the eggcrate used for sound deadening started falling off the engine compartment. I didn’t know much about boats back then but it looked cheaply made and unfinished to me. Not judging just my impressions.
I'll judge for you then. They're good starter boats because they're cheap, buy they're cheap because of the quality (or lack thereof)
Well done
Thanks Daniel!
Was that a Freedom boat rental?
Yes it was
Hahahaha 🤣😂
Freedom boat rental 😂
Couldn't you have used just one piece of ground tackle, as in an anchor attached to the rear cleat closest to the tug boat, going to an anchor set in the sand away from the flipped boat, opposite the tug boat.

How would I let the anchor line go from the towboat?
I would have thought would be a two person job. Obviously not! Enjoyed watching.
Haha. Thanks Arnold! Definitely would've been nice to have a 2nd person for this job, but 99% of the time I'm by myself
nice job, really interesting, creative writing skills on steroids! (AI), do you weave/braid the line back together?.. I know they do it on winch lines.
Nah. That was a junk line I cut. We were getting rid of it anyway
Beautiful handling. My only complaint is the fisheye lens makes this really hard to watch. You need a decent camera.
That Bayliner's hull is a prime example of why you should never beach your boat.
It's an editing choice to show more view of what's going on. The downside to that is you get a fisheye effect
Well done. Looks like a dangerous job to be doing alone.
Definitely a job that would've been nice to have another set of hands on board
Nice flanking maneuver up there to the dock at the end, you could be a towboat captain! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺
lol. Almost 😂
Was this a FBC boat? There has been a issue on 2023-2024 boats will the hull delaminating causing water intrusion.
Yes it was
What happened to the T-top?
Watch the follow up video to find out!
(Non boater) is there a reason to have so much line? Why not halve the distance?
For this particular maneuver, no, I probably could've gotten away with less line. However, in this situation, I needed to get to deeper water so I wouldn't be hitting bottom when my stern dips under load
You are expected to do a lot on that vessel. Our rescue vessel has 3 crew members. The difference is we are volunteers so paying us is not an option. The safety authority for Australia nominates the number of crew members for certain types of vessels and the operating offshore limits. Couldn’t you have let out the stern line when she righted herself in stead of cutting the rope? Well done!
Thanks David! If my lines were setup better...yes, I could've loosed the line instead of cutting it
Good job, that’s an awful lot of work to do by yourself!
Thanks gh!
Any idea what sank this boat?
Yes. It took on too much water... 😂
Seriously though, it was a combination of a failed bilge pump, a missing transom cover, and waves coming over the transom because it was beached
It’s a Bayliner.
Might be a good opportunity to scrub the bottom and maybe some anti foul. Would save the cost of hauling it out
Lol 🤣
Is the camera on this boat on a gimbal
It's actually a 360 camera, so I can change the POV to any direction when editing the footage. If you go back and look at my videos from last year, you'll see they're a fixed POV except for the ones where I had a gopro on my head
You did a fantastic job well done
Thanks Jry!
Bayliner, living proof that shit floats.
why is the T top and console completely gone
Because it's a bayliner and it was only screwed into the deck with a handful of screws
Great job, especially by yourself. I don't understand why you didn't have someone working with you ? From a safety and efficiency standpoint , 2 people just makes more sense to me.
Because we don't need a second person for 99% of the jobs we do...so why incur the extra cost of paying someone to sit on the boat and do nothing?

a 28ft Prokat
didnt that have a t-top on it at one point?
Watch the follow up video to see...😉
Did they tell you why the boat capsized?
No one knows for sure, but my guess is with it beached, it took a few waves over the stern which was enough to drop it below the water, and then it quickly filled up and rolled
Great video. I never knew there was a name for that. Lol I learned something today!
Thanks chainsaw!
So many boats and so few people using them
Own of the Bayliner was just like, "Paid a grand for it. Just leave it here and I'll go buy another one"
It was actually a freedom boat and they got the members off the beach before I got there
under marine salvage law boat was abandonded and you get possision, Touur company ahould sell remains and share wirh you. Very professional job🙏
Thanks Roger! Salvage law is a tricky thing. In this instance though, the boat wasn't abandoned since we were hired to refloat it and bring it back to the dock
Good Job
Thanks Mate!
Don't forget to splice a no end loop on that line you cut.
Never heard of a no end loop... But a loop in the end of our line wouldn't work for us
Where is the center console??!!!
Go watch the follow up video
Would love to train to do this (retired Fire LT) first I'd have to get my captains license...
Captains license with towing endorsement!
Thanks for sharing cool maneuver to get that baby flipped. Just a suggestion nothing critical during editing you might want to fast forward more sections just to shorten the vid some.
Thanks Phillip! Most of my viewers prefer seeing more of what's going on and less skipping/fast forwarding
Great job. What caused the boat to capsize
Probably the boat driver! Its a rental from freedom boat club most likely. May have been something to do with the Hurricane
Thanks Brian! Andrewh isn't too far off. It was partly an operator error and partly a boat club failure. The bilge hatch was missing which let the water in and the bilge pump wasn't working...but the club member beached the boat (which they weren't supposed to do with that boat) and with it beached, the stern was low and took waves over the stern
This was long before the hurricane. Just a series of failures that if one wasn't part of that chain, it would've prevented this from happening
When by yourself you should definitely have some sort of kill switch, if you ever had a foot wrapped around one of those lines and you give it throttle then walk to the back of the boat you can consider yourself fish food Imho. Impressive solo job none the less.
Thanks Mate!
It would take a lot of work to get my foot stuck in a line, give the boat throttle, and then walk to the back of the boat and fall overboard... But it could happen 😂
A kill switch isn't going to help though, because in order to walk to the back of the boat I'd have to disconnect it. I do have a knife on my life jacket and a plb, so if I do fall overboard, the boat may be gone, but the coast guard will know where to pick me up
Is that really a "24 Trophy"? And what causes her to flip?
Yes it is. It took on a lot of water over the stern. Not sure exactly how boats roll over when they sink, but my guess would be that they don't fill with water evenly, so one side will be a bit heavier than the other
I guess the good news is how often they scoop air and remain afloat, how many times have we seen people sitting on the overturned bottom of a boat?@@CaptKenO
Yep. Definitely! I'd bet those people don't really think about it, but are sure happy the boat stayed floating!
I can't belive no one is talking about trim all these craft can handle these waters if they would use trim,power at the right time,and most of all common sense and safety
Completely irrelevant in this situation. The boat was beached so no amount of trim or power would've saved it
Nice job
Thanks Kitjeep!
Why don't you have a deck hand with you?
Didn't have one available
A Bayliner is no trophy , just a future filled with a slew of headaches and disappointments.. the boat is the base base model.
That is kind of scary to watch. I'm used to having the back of my truck as protection if a line breaks.
We can't store enough energy in this line to have it snap back violently. It's polypropylene, so it has a little bit of stretch, but very little recoil
@@CaptKenO Thanks for the explanation and education!
I suggest you do a little more explaining as to what you're doing along the way. For instance were you stuffing life jackets into a hole on the stern or????
I'm working on it...I'm not used to explaining everything I do or my thought process, and I do sometimes forget I even have a camera recording 😂
Nice job god bless
Thanks John!
nutten to it when ya got yo shit together.
Ain't no better bilge pump than a 5 gallon bucket in the hands of a man who can not swim.
I always try to bring both.
Lmao 🤣
I'd like to see him compete against a good bilge pump and see how long he could keep it up for! 😁
Both are definitely good to have for when the electric one quits
