@cuttysark. That's terrible news and sorry to hear. Hopefully your insurance will cover the recovery and the motor. I'm not familiar with Seatow, etc however its very important that any submerged boat, when recovered should have the engine addressed within hours. Any company doing that type of recovery should be aware of that. The guy at Ronnie's was right, it would've been better at the bottom for a few more days instead of raised and exposed without proper treatment.
I truly hope you come out on the winning end of this.

My 2001 FD GS 201 w/ Yamaha 150 V6 2 stroke sits in boat lift all season WITHOUT a cover and i check it every couple days, especially after it rains. I have never had enough rain water accumulation to sink it and most of time the pump cant even find enough to pick up suction. You more than likely have a bad fitting (my neighbor almost sank his boat when the through-hull scupper drain plastic fitting failed). Joyfully, they are all so easy to get to (NOT). Good Luck!cuttysark said:went fishing Saturday morning left my dock @ 7:30 was back @ 12:30, I figured I'd leave the boat tied to dock and go fishing the next day. it rained over night I woke up sunday morning 7:30 to a sunk boat!got in the water plug was in, don't know if the bilge came on and could not keep up or did not turn on at all . don't think it should of sunk just from rain.

@rdcastle... you should be able to get a scupper drain fitting if you need one from your local dealer. If not, say the word, and we'll track one down for you.
