Re: Rest in Peace - A Sad, Sad Night
Pete,
As soon as you get her up, pull the plugs, pump it full of fresh water. Pull the carbs as well, soak them in Kerosene.
Blow out all the fresh water you can, fill up the cyclinders with any good spray oil IE: LPS, 3/1, etc. keep rotating the fly wheel. Then get an oil pump can and fill it full of 10-40, 10-30, any good automotive oil.
If you are tight with a mechanic and have him there to
pull the powerheads tomorrow, there is a REAL good chance they can be saved. It is alot of work in a short amount of time. But if you can save the cranks from pitting your home free. I have seen it done before. Your wiring harness may
be compromised, but that is the least to worry about.
Keep us up. I know it is the worst feeling in the world.
Had a buddy last year his 31 Ocean Master was tied up at the
Anglers Club in New Smyrna. The dock attendant thought his lines were not good enough, so he re-tied. Yup, the tide went out , the tide came up and Ocean Master was under the
dock that night and on the bottom in the AM. Needless to say dock hand became unemployed. Sad thing was the boat had just been repowered the month before.
Hang-in there, Ken
