Rob,

I saw your advice after I posted mine. Even though it
slightly conflicted, I felt it is worth him trying. Saved a
motor submerged in salt water several years ago but getting it
running the next morning...once we saw the extent of what had
happened. In this case, the boat was improperly tied between
two docks when a storm came up. Waves came over the side as
the boat had no where to go. We spent most of the night with
buckets and recharging batteries to run the bilge pump once
we got it (barely) to shore.

I thought about the hydro-lock, but being a two stroke, I
didn't mention it as I have a hard time imagining it with a
two stroke. Not that it can't happen though!

It didn't sound like Terry was willing to attempt this himself, but if
he can get it running, this would be the best.

You have to be sure it was not hydro-locked - & no damage (bent rods
etc.) before firing it up, if it makes any horrific bearing or rod noise
shut it down right away.
