Would you buy an outboard that was submerged?

[QUOTE="BYOB Fishing, post: 175547, member: 1756"] Oh, forgot to mention, this outboard is electronic fuel injection. Over the last few hours, from what I gathered searching Google, all of the electronics are sealed, along with the lower unit. The main concern is water getting into the power head and rusting machined surfaces. All of the resources mention how critical it is to get the motor apart and cleaned out as soon as it is removed from the water...But all cases where one of these people worked on their motors to get them dry, they all ran just fine after that. The most serious repair was one guy had to replace the carb. Drying out, Changing fluids and getting the motor running are the main steps from what I've read. [/QUOTE]
