all this rain filled my boat up. I have a sport jet 175 and it went up to the first carb, I took the spark plugs out and sprayed fogg into the carbs and pistons, then turned it over. does any body have a cheap fix it..

Sorry about the boat. No cheap fixes come to mind. Do you think water got into the engine?

Raising the bow and pulling the plug would be a good process change for you.

Change the oil too.

I think you'll be OK, if you get it running soon. I'd add oil to the gas to get it to 50:1, and fire it up and run it long enough to get good and hot. However, I'm no mechanic, and you'd be smart to call the shop first, and see if they agree with me.

When I was a kid, I dropped a motor into the lake, and we took 8 hours to find it. We pulled the plugs, sprayed WD 40 into the cylinders, ran it for a bit, and put it away. It ran fine for 15 more years.

You may have a problem with your battery, if it got submerged. At the very least, it's going to be deader than a doornail.

I had a 4 cyl Volvo go under once and sit in the salt water for a couple of days... We drained water out as best we could, once it was refloated then ran kerosene thru it cylinders, fuel lines, carb etc. drained and repeated the procedure turning the engine over a couple of times,,,drained again put gas in and fired it up, smoked a little, think maybe we drained oil and did kerosene thing there also---------was a long time ago!!!!!!!
