Default Boat Sank due to Syphoning Effect

Rainwater can do it. Also if shore water supply is left hooked up, and
a leak begins (or a hose blows out); that is a very common way boats
sink at the dock (accoring to insurance).

It's his story. Argue about something else.


Aw, c'mon. Anyway, it wasn't me insisting that it couldn't
be the bilge pump.
