Bailers
We passed a boat last week that had just launched from Port Kennedy that was already bailing water and they were only 300m from the ramp and still on the way out to their pots.
Might have a skippers ticket but unfortunately that doesen't mean they have any sense.

Having trouble
That close to the ramp makes you think it is probably due to not putting bungs in.

Skin Fittings
The black one went down due to the live bait tank skin fitting snapping off.
No way the 500 GPH bilge pump could keep up.
, the skipper also stated that he didnt notice until the rear of the boat was already very heavy and low.
So maybe a bilge alarm would be a good idea?

skin fittings
All hoses below waterline should have these s/s hose fittings x 2 on occasions and a float switch to a alarm.
