It's the new Tige koi pond.

Good luck and be sure to post pictures when you get the upholstery cleaned up.

Dude that looks so bad, I feel so bad for you. I hope it all works out. I'm sure it's going to keep you busy for many weeks to come. I would make sure you work out the mechanical & electrical things first before you invest a lot of time in clean up. It would be even a bigger shame for you to spends hours/days on clean up only to later find that the mechanical end may end up being more than you want to deal with, hopefully that wont happen, but certainly something to consider.

Best of luck

So you've got it running again and all the basic electrical systems are functioning???

not yet...

Check your starter. It may work after being swamped, but you can bet your last dollar that it will go.

I would go ahead and purchase another just in case. Very easy to fix on the fly.

Also, watch your alternator. If your battery starts getting below 12 then that is the first sign your alternator will need replacing as well.

I like the idea of just turning it into a koo pond.

anything that is electronic and small enough put it in zip-lock bags and surround it with rice for a day or two.
Rice will suck the moisture out of anything and has saved a few of my electronics over the years.

Went tubing behind the boat once with the radio face to my car in my pocket. put it in rice for 3 days. hooked it up and am still using it until this day.

Look at the positive, at least it was fresh water.

Sorry to hear about your situation, hope it gets better fast.

And on a lake somewhere being used.

One of my favorite threads ever. A good reminder that anyone who has any chance of storing their boat outside should remove the plug to let the water out. I use that picture to illustrate the point when someone starts telling me that it is a bad idea to store the boat outside with the plug out.
