Bail it.
If your boat gets swamped far from shore, the first priority is to ensure everyone's safety. Try to stay with the boat, as it provides some buoyancy and can be more visible to rescuers. Use any available flotation devices and signal for help using flares or whistles if you have them. If the boat is sinking rapidly, prepare to enter the water, keeping your head above water and swimming towards safety if necessary.

If your boat is swamped far from shore, first assess your situation and ensure everyone on board is wearing a life jacket. Try to bail out water if possible, but prioritize staying with the boat as it can provide more visibility and buoyancy. Signal for help using flares, a whistle, or by waving your arms to attract attention. If the boat is capsizing or sinking rapidly, prepare to enter the water and swim towards safety or float with the current while keeping your head above water.

The boat may be sitting low in the water due to the combined weight of the two fishermen and any additional gear or equipment they have on board. The displacement of the water by the boat is determined by the weight of the boat and its contents, causing it to sit lower in the water when heavily loaded. It is important for the fishermen to ensure they are not exceeding the maximum weight capacity of the boat to maintain stability and safety on the water.

If your boat gets swamped, first ensure everyone's safety by instructing all passengers to wear life jackets and remain calm. Try to bail out as much water as possible using buckets or pumps, and if the boat is capsizing, stay low to avoid tipping it over. If the situation is critical and the boat is in danger of sinking, consider signaling for help and prepare to abandon ship if necessary. Always have a flotation device or life raft ready for emergencies.
