From 2008 BOAT US analysis of "Why Boats Sink at the Dock."

In 50% of dockside sinkings, water found its way into the bilge through leaks at underwater fittings. The majority of the leaks are at stuffing boxes, followed by outdrive or shift bellows, failed hoses or hose clamps, sea strainers, and drain plugs.


Hardly one in a million.
