Last year my 2007 sea ray 310 sank while in a covered sloip and hooked up to shore power. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

This is a scary thought as a boat gets older. Lots of plumbing that can fail and cause a sinking. And let's face it most of us don't replace things until they break. We do not leave the charger on so the bilge pumps/batteries would be on their own for up to a week between visits. Yes closing seacocks would lower the risks but again who actually does it. And the risk of forgetting to open them on the next cruise.
Closing the seacocks would have prevented this?
Are you for real with that statement ??. :wow:if my lines are tight, cut them.

Note to self, Never buy a boat from you. :thumbsup:

You need to update your signature...In 1995 I had a 1992 330 sink at the dock the day after Christmas in 13 degree weather. Not a pleasant experience. The mechanic that winterized the boat forgot to replace the drain plug in the wet exhaust muffler. Over time with the boat moving back and forth in the slip it caused a suction that stared water flowing . Over time and the long cold weather the pumps were over whelmed to the point that they failed. When I got there the boat was completely under water and the dock lines were as tight as piano strings.
