Excessive Rains Cause Boat To Sink, Salvaging a 26' Proline with Lift Bags

- Always keep your deck drains clear of leaves and debris, as it forces water that would typically run overboard to make it's way through your hatches into the bilge. When the bilge runs excessively the battery doesn't last long.
You guys should argue it afloat! Too many chief's!
Lol pretty much
Had to switch to another video too much arguing, like an old woman's tea party.
You should do a walk through of your boat and the equipment you use
Would love to see that as well 👍🏻
Rain didn't cause it to sink, poor maintenance or neglect did.
Nope. The bilge pump wasn’t hooked up properly. The bilge pump should be hard wired directly to the deep cycle or AGM battery. A lot of boats are built so the bilge pump is only active if the battery switch is on.
@@eugeneweeks3325 And you have first hand knowledge of this?? And what if it was wired directly to a lithium battery would this be wrong too according to your "engineering requirements"??
The bilge pump autoswitch is wired directly to the battery, the bilge also has a switch at helm. Someone check on their rig to make sure deck drains were working properly and bilge too!
It was rain.
It was rain, yeah. The captain said so. Don't be so such a smartass. You don't even know how to swim.
Dead batteries and or broken float switch! However like my old Mako the deck was sealed from bulge. I notice a lot of boats drain rain into the bilge one place or the other! That is absolutely foolish a good boat is supposed to drain all areas of the deck overboard not in the bilge the bilge should be absolutely sealed from the deck!
Great recovery and training for the new guys to learn. Is there not any sharks or gators in those waters? Scary stuff! Y'all stay safe
Same thing happened to me years ago, although I was dumb and forgot to take the plugs out… It rained so much the bilge pump drained the battery before I could get up there
Interesting, just few leaves can do. Are those outboards salvageable? I am guessing that water is brackish. Kudo's to the guy in the water, I don't go in water I can't see through. Thanks for sharing.
Those engines will run again, but the electric components are usually shot. Training day, I’m usually the one in the water lol
No offense, but being scared to go in water you can't see in is like being scared of the dark. You get more comfortable with it the more you do it and realize there's a lot worse things to be scared of.
Santa Clause sure has a lot to say, doesn't he?
Saw you on FB, came here to subscribe! Great content!

You're doing it the hard way. Why don't you just open the seacock and let the water out? 🙄
What a great job! To salvage the 28 ft. Cum alongs diver in the water float bags. Not an easy thing to accomplish. And to top it off with cleaning her up after. Great job captains.
Someone been watching too much porn….its come btw 😮
Is the wiring and engine all junk after that ?? What did it cost to refloat it ??
If they work quick you can dewater the engines ,gas tank . Got to get water out of crankcase and cylinders as quick as possible
That's criminal neglect.
My 800 15 footer has flotation...sad this one does not
It’s called not taking care of your shit.
Even with all the water out the boat still list way to easy bad hull design
Looks like your trying to rip the hard top off,
a fool and his boat are easily parted
All that money in that hole in the water, yet no allowance in the budget for a / some bilge pump(s)
It had em , wore battery down and no one checked on it, deck drains got plugged up too
One word Alligator
Bilge pump went on strike too much rain
Bilge pump went on strike too much rain
I notice you blurred out the male customer, but not the female? I take it she gave permission to appear in the video but he didn't?
Good job! Were the engines ok, or did they have to be worked on (drain fluids and run some clean gas through them, etc)? As usual, they will probably start having some electrical gremlins in a few months once the corrosion from the saltwater starts building up.
How are those Hondas working out for you? I'm interested in one when I re-power.
Manual shift engine, and flush with salt away it would probably last a long time. They never burn oil, and have strong gearcases, corrosion is what you have to watch.
My boat is trailered so I didn't think that would be an issue. My main interest is reliability and fuel efficiency since I'll be going long trips with a single outboard.
@@CaptainRetriever manual shift is more trouble than dts😅
Hey cap, may I ask why Hondas are on the back of the tow boat?
Great salvage/recovery. A flushing/good cleaning and that'll be up and running in no time.
I was wondering if it would have been easier to drag it out at higher tide and flip it in open water.
It’s relatively shallow, 1/2 mile to the run zone, probably damage the t-top
That is really interesting!!!!.
That water is murky!
What kind of boat is your tow boat? Looks heavy duty and good for what you do…
Silvership, great riding boat & work platform
Can you disclose the cost?
Nice and impressive
It was one of the most uncoordinated recoveries I've seen. Too many people are giving suggestions. One person must take control
2 newer guys asking questions, and never rigged a float bags by themself. I’ve done a ton of sunk boats, it’s easy to get tunnel vision, sometimes it takes an outside perspective..
If there is no reason to hurry, there is no reason to not exchange ideas.
Good teamwork!
Aren’t there gators in there
That’s exactly what I was thinking🐊 🐊 🐊
Someone with far more than they need buys a toy and lets it sink at the dock; how American.
It sank because it filled with water, why it filled I don’t know.
Excessive rain...
@@Briebabcock8052 Insurance Companies would say: " If you knew it was raining you should have checked on it."
Why are the owners faces blurred out? Are they sniveling and sobbing?
It’s the newer generations that feel the constant need to have their faces all over the interwebs, even in unfortunate situations like this. Older folks tend to want to keep some sort of privacy.
It’s a little extra editing, but most would rather not be associated with sunk & aground boats.
what a dumb comment
A nice cover is worth every penny.
@@haviland586 that’s a good observation, keep the leaves out, and the rain
