Hit a Rock!

[MarkJSullivan]

Hit a rock over the weekend that picked the backend of my 20 foot 93 Cobalt 6" above the water line for 1/2 second. No apparent damage. What should I watch for?

Rocks! <br />Seriosly, scope the hull and outdrive/prop for damage. If none is visible, you either got very lucky or hit a soft rock.

How fast were you moving? I'd call the insurance company, submit a cliam, and get the hull, drive, etc. inspected by professionals if you are worried. It is a covered loss, and what you pay to inspect would just about be your deductible if you have a standard policy. If something happens in the next year and you trace the cause back to the rock episode, you have the legwork done to get it fixed and paid for.

I am looking for instructions on installing a water pump on a 1996 Evinrude Ocean Pro 115. I'd like to save a few $$ and do it myself. Anyone know where I can download this info from the internet?? <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
