If the Boat sunk is your motor worth saving?

Answer 1

That, of course, depends on the original value of the motor. A 100 dollar motor probably isn't worth the effort. a 10,000 dollar motor defintely is worth the time and effort. Here is a general idea. Add up all the costs to get the motor out of the water and to a place you can work on it. Read up on the procedures for outboard, inboard and I/O engines. There are thousands of article out there. Add in the expense of doing this, often times it means hiring a mechanic. Get an estimate. Which will cost more a good used engine or salvaging yours?

One thing to remember the clock is ticking, do not delay the repair one minute. Damage starts occurring as soon as the boat sinks. The faster the revocery and repair the lower the cost and better your chances for a successful situation.
