Next message: Pascal Gademer: "Re: T&T: Boat sunk at dock, need advice"
Our marina called late yesterday to tell our boat was sitting very low in
the water. By the time I got there 20 minutes later she was almost on the
bottom. Fortunately the water is only 8' deep at the dock. Nevertheless, we
had four feet of water in the engine room, and 2-3' in the master stateroom
and bow stateroom.
TowBoatUS arrived a couple of hours later with a gas powered pump. It took
about 5 hours to get all the water out and refloat the boat. What a mess!
Worst part is we cannot find how the water got in the boat. Once it was
pumped out no more water was coming in. All through hulls checked out fine.
My question is what to do to about engines and transmissions. Tranny's were
completely submerged, engines (Lehman 120's) got water up to about half way
up the starters. What is the best process to use to ensure to clean and
preserve the engines and transmissions?
Looks like we are going to be spending the weekend ripping out sodden carpet
and trying to dry the boat out.
