Exmouth's new Shannon lifeboat's been in action, after a fishing boat began taking in water off Sidmouth.
Six crew members were on the water 12 minutes after being called out yesterday morning, and at the scene about 15 minutes later.
They found a faulty hose was causing the fishing boat's engine room to flood... the fault was rectified and the three people on board were able to continue fishing.
