Engine Mechanical / Electrical / SUNKEN BOAT HELP!!!!
« on: May 05, 2009, 03:17:15 PM »
Man I have bad luck! The girlfriend sunk the boat this weekend on it's first real lake trip the wed before was it's maiden voyage and no problems besides to much oil in the pan. After all the work I've done for 3-1/2 months day and night everyday!
My question is is what are the chances of getting it running again? It went down in Saguaro Lake, AZ on sat. and they can't get it out till this comming sat. thats a week
We have located it and the diver said its about 50 feet deep where the oil and gas was still comming up on sun. The motor was running, but just at idle and it happened so fast that it just choked the motor out and went under! (I'm crossing my fingers that it didn't hydrolock it) but with my luck that's probably not possible. I've heard that it's ok to be under the water for a while but when it comes out is when it's crunch time on the motor. I don't even know where to start nor what it may look like when it comes up. it's a ford 460. And any help would be much appreciated!!!!
