Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] outboard and subs

["Herve" <caribsub@coqui.net>]

Agreed Carsten!

Somebody asked me how I start my outboard after having being submerged and
flooded in the water.
Well i dont know if it works i never tried, and will not seems to me that
the engine would be badly damaged after submersions.
In the Navy we used to plug inlet and exhaust, then submerge the sub up to
20 Ft for a long ride with electric motors , when back to the surface,
unplug the outboard and start it.
Now what  I do is somehow to pressure compensate my outboard so that the
water never gets inside , regardless of the depth up to 130 Ft and stays dry
for a sart up once back to surface.
