Kinnda weird question..???

[nate]

Ok this may sound dumb, and never heard this being mentioned so Ill throw it out there...

I was really thinking hard about ordering a small higer RPM neu motor for my tunnel hull today,

but will I have any problems with water getting inside my motor... is this an issue on other outboards..

will it effect anything..?

[Meniscus]

The real question is, how far in the water will it sit when it flips?

[Darin Jordan]

Well... if it's on an outboard... it's going to get water inside...

It's only a problem if you don't clean it back out after it happens. I think the bearings are the main thing...

What I do with mine is flood them with Corossion-X before I run them... and then I blow the motor out when I'm done and put more Corossion-X in there... Seems to be working fine to this point.

Well Ill be running the Bullet drive, a Neu 1512 2.5d on 4s2p, Hydra120 and an x445.

I just didnt want anything to go wrong if small amounts of water got down in the motor as I ran a few minutes..

Darin,

So spray corr.X IN the motor before runs.. do i spray it in then blow it all out with like a compressor or what do you suggest...

I have had motors submerged, full of water and they keep on running during races. Like Darin said, the bearings are the main thing to worry about

I spray it in there good, then go run the thing...
