2000 Merc 40 ELPT 4s carb got slammed from foward to reverse @ maybe 1200 - 1500 rpm.
My son with his cousin driving......... both 13 yo and stoopid
.
Engine stalled and they couldn't it started - got towed to dock by Good Samaritan who got it started by pumping idle lever.
Anyway they made it to the ramp and brought it home.
I started to flush w/ fresh water and fired right up. Shroud off no knocks or pings.
Planned for tomorrow:
Check lower unit gear oil for water and metal.
Anything else before I dunk it for a test run?
Thanks.
