This past weekend, my '97 Outback took a few large waves over the bow. Ended up with water up to the bottom of the drivers seat. It took about 2 1/2 hours to pump the water out. I went ahead and changed the oil. Not sure how high the water was on the engine, but I figured it would not hurt. My problem the boat will not turn over now. I thought maybe the bilge pump killed the battery, but I put in a different battery and it still will not turn over. Not sure if the starter is the problem or if the engine was damaged. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Anyone else had this problem. I have taken a wave over the bow before, but my cousin was driving the boat and he said that three large waves came over. For a few minutes he thought the boat was gonna sink.


Thanks,

Storm
