hi<br />i left my boat in the water all summer. its 270 miles from home, i havent been able to get back to it becasue i had open heart surgey this summer and my doctor said i couldnt travel. 
<br />anyway about 1 week ago they had about 10-12 of inches of rain in 24 hours<br />my buddy called me last week and told about the storm but he didnt say anything about my boat being sunk. <br />it was tied to the dock and the motor was underwater. the bow was still out.<br />anyway my a coulpe of my friends tried a sump pump but it didnt work fast enough so they jumped in the boat with 5 gallon buckets and started bailing as fast as they could and she came up.<br />they pulled my seats and took everthing out to dry. i owe these guys a lot.<br />when i got there there was about 2 inches of water in the bottom. i pumped that out.<br />i then trolled over to the landing with the trolling motor and pulled it out. <br />i pulled the plugs and cranked it over it shot water about 30 feet. i kept cranking until it was just a fine mist , i replaced the plugs, and sprayed fogging oil in the carbs.<br />and it started i let it run on the muffs for about 45 minutes.<br />then i pulled the plugs again and sprayed more fogging oil in the cylinders, and in the carbs, <br />i sprayed all the linkage with silcone spray. <br /><br />Is there anything else i should have done? <br /><br />i'm so happy it runs <br /><br />sorry for the long post but i thought i would share my story.<br />So from now on my boat comes out when i leave.<br />no more leaving it unattended.<br />Don
