Default Re: Boat sunk

Get the motor off and into a fresh water tank, and cover with water ASAP, leave it that way till you can get to work on it!

When the air gets to it thats when the crap is going to happen!!

I have a friend that had a motor down for a week two years ago and it still runs today!

Took to mariner and they flushed it all and oil everything! They did replace a few things but wasn't that bad. Better then buying a new motor!

As for the boat, run fresh water thur it and wash down, then like (I forgot who Skools?) get under cover and put a fan on a opening and let it blow 24/7 and it will dry it out in no time!

You are going to have to rewire the boat I am sure?

Good Luck!!
