I flipped my 13 foot boston whaler the other day?

I was waiting for my brother to get the truck in the water so I thought I would play around a little Well. what happened I was goingg about 24 mph with the tilt and trim set for good speed andmade a decent right hand turn the boat leaned and water got in my starboard side and flipped me like a pancake. The boat didn't sink and I was able to climb on to the bottom of the boat until Another boater came and towed me to shore. we got the boat flipped over and on the trailer, the boat was up side down for about 30 minutes, we got it home the only thing I lost was the wind shield. we hooked the battery up with no gas lines attached and ti cranked over, what would be the next best thing to do for the boat now and no there was'nt any alochol involved.I flipped my 13 foot boston whaler the other day?
Frank has good answers





and CONGRATULATIONS! In 45 years of foolin' around with boasts this is the first time I've ever heard of someone flipping a Whaler.......I didn't think it could be done, other than trying to beach it in breaking seas !I flipped my 13 foot boston whaler the other day?
Get the engine running asap! Get all new fuel first and add some xtra oil.

Remove the plugs, as there can be water in the cylinder(s ) that can cause hydrolock and ruin the engine, spray some wd40 in the cylinders and crank the engine some revolutions.

Drain water out the carb, re place the plugs and start her up on the muffs!!!I flipped my 13 foot boston whaler the other day?
frank is on the right track but here is a little more info from an expert mechanic



"The longer the engine has been under the worse. The longer it sits after being under the more difficult to get the engine to run again. Salt water is worse than fresh water. If the engine was running when it went under it could have sucked water and damaged the engine internally.



To fix, bring engine to a warm, dry place. Lift bonnit and spray down everthing with freshwater. Pull the sparkplug hole and spray with WD-40. Drain oil. If oil was full of salt water then rince with fresh water water and then fill with oil. Change filters. Pull carb, fuel filter, fuel line and check for water intrusion. Rebuild carb if any water has gotten into it.



Put it all back together, and try to start. If you get the engine running let her run for about five miutes, then change the oil and filter and all filters. Run again and check for water in the oil. If no water in the oil run the engine for about two hours and change the oil one more time.



Generally as a rule if the engine was underwater for less than a day or two it will come back to life.



Couple more hints-If the enigne was under salt water for a few days sometimes people will submerge the complete engine in a barril of fresh water for about six hours to dilute the salt.
