I leave my 1996 Speedster in the water at a dock and it recently almost sunk. Apparently the drain plug came loose somehow and let a ton of water into the bilge. My carbon seals are also shot so maybe water was leaking though there too.
Anyway, what all should I check/drain/dry before trying to start the engines? I was going to pull the cover off the MPEM to see if it stayed dry. I will pull the spark plugs and crank each engine to see if any water comes out of the cylinders. So far the bilge pump still works but the fan doesn’t.
I won’t be leaving it in the water anymore this year. An automatic bilge pump is on the parts list.
