Then fill with raw rice and zip it up . After a few days it will start right up. Lol. At least that's what I heard you can do with a wet cell phone.

(most of the repair work will be interior) Well, having spent 30 years in the insurance industry and seeing quite a few flood damaged cars, I can say that under than much water every single seal in the tranny, engine and all of the drive train will have leaked and allowed water to get in. In addition to all of the electronics, complete interior replacement, I seriously doubt if the company that insured it will want to do the repairs. eidolonFIRE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number 2 thing is to make sure the stern straps are unhooked before backing it in, the drain plug is in, and the winch line is not disconnected until the boat is in the water. I watched some douche bag back a brand new Boston Whaler down a concrete ramp, and then he un-hooked the winch line while the boat and trailer were still about 30 feet above the water. The second he did, the boat rolled off the ez-load trailer and slid down the ramp on its bottom. This was about a minute after I suggested that he not do that until it was much closer to (or actually in) the water. eidolonFIRE, WeednFeed and deerejon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the same thing you did another time LOM....this guy had a sailboat (fiberglass) on a trailer on a really steep ramp and had undone the straps at the top....he hit the brakes about halfway down and the boat went off the trailer the rest of the way to the water....there was a 5" wide and about 1" thick smear of fiberglass all the way down the ramp.....ouch!!

When I launch I always leave the boat hooked at the bow and back down until the boat floats then I put it in park, set the brake and Turn the engine off. Most cars wont let you turn the key all the way off when it's still in drive. (automatic transmission) Never be in a hurry . . . .Take your time . . less chance of making a mistake, the guy behind you that is chomping at the bit waiting for you to get done can just wait. deerejon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the boat went off the road, it started tumbling, which tore it to pieces. The largest part that was left was the engine. I bet the driver in that big ass Hummer, was real surprised when he got home with no boat. I15 heading from Vegas to home in CA. The guy in the Hummer never slowed down.

I always left my truck running. It's easier to get a vehicle to run when its dry. Much less embarrassment asking for a jump than a winch. If your truck gets submerged while running I'm pretty sure the heads will crack and engine would be toast. What ever your routine is just make sure you set the brake and be safe.
