Or read theory from others who have not!) have a look on you tube for restarting a dunked engine. . . It's done all the time.
RNLI DO NOT strip and re-bearing or piston ring their 2 stroke outboards after they are dunked!
When a 4 stroke engine is flipped or dunked water mixes with the engine oil and it's better not to use the engine for longer than a few minutes to get back to shore otherwise you ARE likely to damage it if engine oil and sea water have mixed I forgot to mention this as I NEVER use 4 stroke engines lol

Youd think after flipping 1 or maybe 2 he'd learn how not to flip it but to have flipped up to 10 boats is quite an achievement
