" A sad day it is in aqualand.
" A sad day it is in aqualand. Heavy downpours and bilge pump problems caused my boat to sink at the dock. All the way. The 5.0 i/o engine was a little tired, but all the accessories were newer and the volvo penta outdrive was just serviced. It was unly underwater for 1/2 day So, I am wondering what is salvagable (starter, alternator, trim pump, batteries, etc) and is there anything that I should do quickly, like to the outdrive maybe, that can save parts until I decide to start rebuilding it?
Also, one other thing. This boat is a 21' bowrider ski boat. How difficult would it be to tear the whole top of the boat off and change it into a basic no frills center console setup?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
