Hey guys, here's an update I just acquired is a 2 cylinder 30 hp Mariner. Serial number 30ML 689 L 331200. 5 years ago I was on the ocean, this motor rattled off the transom, and she ended up submerging. While submerged I grabbed it, and hit the kill switch. At the time I had no kicker, so I reattached it, pulled it once, then steamed back to my warf.
After that, or maybe after running it an additional trip or do, I stored it since now (i.e. 5 years). Now, she still pulls over (i.e. gets compression, and not seized).
So, my questions are;
-should I have done anything with it at the time?
-did I do any permanent damage?
-what do I need to do with it now (before I try using it again) to get it running?
Spare no details, grill me if I deserve it.
I'm just hoping to salvage this motor, and wandering is it possible?
Appreciate any help/advice.
All the best.
