[Rhodes22-list] Shelter Island plus storm damage

[Stephen Staum]

I was told to "pickle" mine by immersing upside down in fresh water (use a 
30 gallon trash barrel).  Then, a day of so later, I drained it and oiled 
the cylinder by injection through the spark plug hole.  It probably worked 
but my recoil spring failed and I have not replaced it so I am not sure.  My 
guess is it will start on the 3rd or 4th pull whenever I get around to it.

You may have lucked out. Both Effros' and mine were knocked over by what the 
launch operator described as a tornado.  I'll post pictures my wide took 
when I can.  Mine is getting hauled today and pumped out. I'm just leaving 
for a week in Beijing so I guess I'll see what's in store when I get back.

Anyone have any wisdom on reclaiming an outboard that has been submerged in 
salt water?
