spray oil down in cylinders
pull over a couple of times

turn flywheel and make sure all water gets out of cylinder,
get 2-stroke oil into the main bearing under the flywheel ASAP
make sure electrical system is dry, spray the hell out of the power unit with WD40/TS-10 or equivelant,
then replace plug, lead, etc
make sure there is NO WATER in your fuel tank, drain carburettor, then pull over untill it starts and run for a couple of hours...
should do the trick- just keep your engine coated in WD40 after running to keep the moisture out and listen out for bearing noise- if the main bearings rust, you need new ones- same for big end and small end bearings.
act now- or pay for it later. |

yea, i know,
personally I use Double-T, the TS10 replacement.
it's better than WD40 cos it dont rot the rubber apparently... |

WD40 is better than having your engine rotting away, and possibly more accessable in an emergency than a fancy equivelant that dont rot rubber
fuel pipe replacement is a hell of alot cheaper than a new cylinder block or flywheel. |

just out of interest, how the hell do you flip a dinghy with a 2HP?
either the conditions were a wee bit rough, or the boat was unbalanced... |
