Hi everyone,
I purchased a 2016 Yamaha 242 last year. Yesterday I allowed a friend to borrow the boat. The impellers got jammed with twigs and he couldn't remove them. It took him about an hour and a half to get to the nearest marina, which was already closed. He moored the boat and returned the next morning with tools. Unfortunately a storm hit in the middle of the night. He had switched the batteries off and therefore the bilge pump was not working. The waves crashed over the back and by the time he returned the next morning the engine compartment was completely submerged along with the battery compartment. I will drop the boat off at the mechanic's tomorrow, but I am wondering what kind of damage I should be expecting from all this?
