wow, tx bud. but, i am thoroughly confused now. i printed all that out so i might use it one day. all the diagnostics and stuff but i think the reason it wont fire is because it was submerged and is siezed. how well does all that fancy electronics hold up to being submerged in salt water? what i am trying to figure out is should i fix this engine, or just replace it. and if i replace it, is it worth spending the extra $1500 or so on another ois model. if so i would have this one for parts. or i could sell it for parts. you seem to know ur stuff, so i will trust ur opinion on this. just please, give it to me in laymans terms. i got me a mississippi education, and all those big words make my head hurt,lol.
