I started back to the ramp after 4 hours of fishing, when I noticed my 2003 Deep "V" 18' Tracker Targa took a really long time to get on plane. When I pulled the Plug getting ready for the trip home.--- WOW -- Lots of water – Took almost 20 –30 minutes to drain. Bildge was almost full. "I almost sunk my boat".
I found both the front and rear live well / bait well pumps (We used both) had a broken the plastic connector on both pumps - right where the hose connects.
Earlier this year, I had to replace the bilge pump for the same reason.

You guys have any Ideas on what caused this??

I don't get my boat out much -- never any heavy waves.. Spends most it's time - covered --sitting in the drive.

Thanks Rick
