    When you find it stick it in a barrel of water til you can work on it. Needle bearings go bad quickly.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The sheep live in fear of the wolf but in the end it's the shepherd that eats them.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang and
    a gun the goes bang when it is supposed to go click.

Thanks for the input.....
    Check your PM box. I can come up and hunt it most anytime after tomorrow.

    I follow a thundercat (inflatable catamaran style boat) forum over in australia and new zealand and they sink motors all time and get em back to running condition so i dont think all is lost. I understand H20 doesnt compress like air and if you were at 6,000 RPM's when she went under that your engine may need some experienced attention but I'm bettin she runs again.

    It's a long story, but the exterrmrly short version is,,,, I had a 40 hp rude 2 stroke on a ski boat and flipped it upside down going wide open. No one was hurt, thankfully. Took about an hour to get it recovered and to the bank. Pulled the spark plugs out, turned the motor until all the water seemed to be out, put some oil in the cylinders and ran it some more till all that seemed to be out. Replace the plugs, cranked it up, went back to pulling some skis. Ran it several more years without incident.
