Oh No! Twin 300's Sunk at the Boat Ramp ! (Chit Show)

[@northeastrailwayproductions]

Heck, I sunk a 5hp Yamaha brand new that my grandfather got on his birthday in 30 ft of salt water. We got it back , put it on deck and washed it with fresh water... it fired right up.

I did salvage years ago and the best thing for a submerged outboard is to leave it until your ready to start working on it! Otherwise, if pulled from the water and left sitting more than a few hours the salt will crystalize in the cylinders, rings , and other critical components, once that happens its a expensive paper weight!

[@lindabenedict2632]

He did say that keeping it in water helps bcuz it oxidation that eats at the metal ( not in the same words) n also Merc does an excellent job in their manufacturing processes of metals to salt water !

[@dcc2444]

@@lindabenedict2632 Right, once oxygen reaches the salt water it begins crystallization. I have started outboards that were submerged for weeks, and immediacy pull plugs fog cylinders clean off and check electrical system, hook up new battery and crank them up! Mercury has gotten better over the years, but Suzuki and Honda have the best protection and more stainless fasteners.

[@clivehorridge]

I lost a little 2-stroke 4hp outboard off the back of a little sailing cabin boat while it was running, and it took a week before I could get a grappling hook on it to recover it from salt water. I pulled the plug and cycled the motor after cleaning out the carb, and after replacing them, it started immediately and ran a treat. Never had a problem with it afterwards.

[@ScarabChris]

As a life long boater in the Miami/Ft Laud area and one that lives on the water and keeps their boat in the water I can probably guess what happened. Boats like that usually have very little distance between the deck and outside water line. Meaning if the deck drains overboard there is no much distance. Should the boat become heavy then water will actually flow in the boat through the deck drains and result in this. Clearly the plug was in so that was not the cause. If I had to guess, the boat had a leak like from a thru hull for the bait well or some other thru hull fitting below the water line. Maybe a broken hose or broken fitting. The bilge pump kept the boat floating until the batteries went dead. This is assuming of course the boat was docked there over night. Bilge pump was probably running all night long, once the pumps stop the water rushing in through a broken thru hull will sink the boat in 15 mins. We would not see the water coming from a broken thru hull when the boat was lifted out because Sea Tow pumped most of the water out. Scenario #2 is the guy shut all power off which included the bilge pumps and left the boat docked over night. Maybe it rained that night, the boat took on just enough water from the rain to put those deck drains under water and the rest is history. Had the bilge pumps been working it could last all night pumping rain out before the batteries went dead.

Drain plug mafia. Strikes again

[@TheByard]

@@southside8510 But they took the drain plug out on the dock or had it been replaced while submerged. Drain plugs need to be attached to the engine start key. All the water ski boats I've driven had a split rubber diaphragm fitted to the drain hole, any water in the boat would drain out but none could get in. My 1930s wooden boat didn't have drain plugs, the cockpits drained over board and the bilge had two auto pumps, each wired to separate batteries, the problem I had was the shaft seals would drip after a 6 or 8 hr cruise, these was cured with a few pumps of grease on the stern gland. There was also a standby generator on board and a submersible pump. the later I never used in anger for the 15 years I owned the boat. Worked on a tunnel job where two tunnel boring machines got flooded with sea water, the back up gantry's were towed out of the tunnels. A specialist cleaning company flushed all the system with fresh water, opened them up and air dried them with fans, no heat was used. 90% of the electrical items were put back in use. The main power cable were only effected on there ends, the cable were treated with a high charge and that drove the moisture out. That was done by a specialist company from Iceland.

[@2011BABIES]

This happened to me 12 years ago. I parked in a very low shallow water but I didn’t mean to stay overnight I parked it at families home and when the low tide came, my boat was laying down on its side and as soon as the tide came in, it filled the boat up halfway and we ended up renting a pool pump getting all the water out quickly and since the motor was completely submerged, we were very lucky that we ended up rinsing everything with water on the outside and we put transmission fluid in every single hole after removing all the spark plugs. Put in a new starter and thankfully it started back up. But you’re right you’ve got to do this quickly because of the oxygen hitting that motor after salt water. Really awesome coverage bro!!!
