For Boats Stored in the Water Over Winter, Nor'easter has Sinking Effect- Editor H2ONotes [ 2/12/2010 - 16:54 ] #  ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11, 2010 – The Boat Owners Association of The
United States (BoatUS) reports that
yesterday’s Nor’easter is having a sinking effect on boats stored on
Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay waters. The boat owners group has
received reports from several marinas advising of the sinking of vessels
that had been tied up for the winter in their slip. The
blizzard’s heavy, moisture-laden snow forces a boat deeper in the
water, which can place a cracked plastic thru-hull fitting — normally a
just few inches above the water line — below water. Thru-hull fittings
are typically connected with a hose to bilge pumps, sinks, showers, or
live bait wells. more...
