Hurricane submerged my outboard
What year 115?
The basic answer is yes - though you wanna drain / clear the carbs and if it has a distributor - drop the cap and clean it. Pull the plugs and make sure it's clear of water first - then prime it and fire it. You wanna start it ASAP after submersion. -W "Brian Klug" wrote in message om... Hi, Need any help / advice on this subject. My boat, along with my 115HP Merc outboard was completely submerged as a result of hurricane Isabelle. It was underwater for about 18 hours, with battery attached, in brackish water. It's had time to dry now - should I just try to start it and see what happens? Or would that likely risk further possible damage? Any suggestions? Thanks so much, Brian Klug |
