2. Did you signal to anyone that you needed help? One thing I have found is when boaters realize someone is in trouble on the water that they don't just ignore it. What may have been an obvious problem to you may not have been to any passing boats.
3. Have you considered a VHF two-way radio? A call on Ch 16 and you'd get help quickly. I always have mine on while underway as do many boaters......
Glad to here you got fixed and back on the water.
