If you notice your boat taking on water, immediately take the following action to safely recover:
Ensure every person onboard the boat is wearing their life jacket.
Bring the boat to a stop if you are still moving to stop any further water pressure.
Try and find the hole to see if you can stop the flow.
Where possible, plug or secure the hole to stop water entering the boat.
Bail out water.
Call the coast guard or signal to help if you are unable to stem the flow of water and the boat is sinking.
While it may be hard to do so, try and remain calm and have everyone onboard doing their part to hopefully stop the flow of water onboard and return safely to the dock.
