Sorry to hear about your accident. Your explanation was a tad hard to decipher. Perhaps a more detailed explanation would be helpful in allowing folks here to give you additional suggestions. First thing to do is report the loss to your insurance carrier.....

1st question: how did water get into the boat??"I feel sorry for people that don't drink, when they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're gonna feel all day" - Frank SinatraComment

Sounds like he got the boat out of the water, that's a good thing! From what I gather, the wind picked up and the waves crashed over the sides filling the boat with water (been there, done that). As long as the motor wasn't submerged and killed he should be pretty good.Comment

Thanks for the responses
I had the boat facing the waves. The teenagers thought they would get it ready for the trailor and turned it around. Large waves over back of the boat. I ran and got it close to the trailer motor might have been submerged for 1 or 2 minutes but was not running. I opened everything up, I do have insurance, but we love the boat I am hopeing to clean drain and save. Just do not know where to start. The electrical systems appear to be fine. I have not tried to start it up. Fiqured I had better drain gas,and everything else any other suggestions would be great.Comment

Drain and refill the TAPS, trans and V-drive NOW!!!!!! dont wait for insurance or anyone!!!! If they got water in them, they are rusting as we type. If the water was real high, like up to the gunwales, change the engine out also. The water doesnt hurt things like the engine, its letting them sit after the fact that results in most boats being total-lossed.
Any of the electronics such as those that are circuit board type processors are probably toast, but let every thing dry out for a week or so, then put some power to them ans see what doesn't work.Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And MoreComment

Drain your oil and any other fluids on the motor if v drive change that also. If oil is milky drain and run thru a few times to get water out.

check you electrical connections.

check your starter for a submerge line....ineveitably it will rust and lock up if submerged.Comment

Sorry to hear about your loss quepenna.
These stories give me the heebee jeebies. Quick snap on bow cover and extra built in pumps (3600 gph total) give me a little peace of mind. But not enough.Comment

How full was it? Was it over the seat cushions? Was it completely submerged?Comment

HA, frickin, HAWere you boating on Pyramid Lake near Reno, NV???? If so, it's common for boats to sink when the winds pick up.
Pull the spark plugs and make sure there is no water in the cyliders also. I feel your pain this happened to me last year. Mine was a total loss.Last edited by rushin; 04-27-2009, 07:39 PM.I'm on a boat man. I got my flippy floppies....Comment
