New Info: reportedly the hose fitting to allow fresh water from the shore into the ships house plumbing broke. The bilge pump couldn’t handle the volume of water and the boat partially sank in the slip. The boat was sitting in a fresh water lake when it sank, which is what the reference in the first sentence to ‘fresh water’ refers to.
