Sure were lucky you had good friends to notify you that your Williams Jet Tender was underwater, and that you had the good sense to respond immediately, and talk to the boat manufacturer, and stay with it to the successful end. I'm happy for you. You, whether you want to be or not, are the current expert on submerged Williams Jet Tenders. Congratulations.

Well, this took some worry and a bunch of work, BUT,,,, you made it through this tough time and now know a hole bunch more about your tender and that all has to feel pretty damned good!!! I could see it in both of your eyes that it was breaking your hearts.. This was just a real freak thing!! Not like a slow leak that a pump could take care of. This was more like each wave could have filled the entire boat!! Sure happy you got it all sorted and Phil Seymour is absolutely a super hero for all he did helping you out and keeping you working through it... Better make sure he's on your Christmas Card List!! Again, very happy you got it all back to normal.. Cheers!!!!

Helpful hint for the future, change the oil before you try to start the engine the water would have been at the bottom and not mixed(oil floats on water). Also before you try to crank it first time remove spark plugs turn over by hand the crank the engine and you will get rid of the water out of the cylinders reducing the risk of bending a rod.

Good repair job you two. The first one has to do in a motor under water situation is make sure their didn't come any water inside any part of the engine, as water can not be compressed. When the piston come up for the compression cycle part and their is water inside the zylinder the piston and the piston rods can get damaged by bending. In the twentyfirst century outboarders and jet engines should have inside water sensors! They could save one quite some trouble. Happy sailing;-)

You gotta wear eye protection when working in the engine. A few years ago while working in my car engine. I was at the fuel injector and when i removed it was under "leftover" pressure and sprayed right in my eye. I went to pharmacy to get help but there is almost no treatment available for the eyes. They couldn't do anything for me. Fortunately it healed itself. But wear any type of eye wear when working in their.

When a motors goes underwater first and foremost,like #1,Like right now, like do not f%$# around, immediately DISCONNECT THE BATTERY .Salt water plus electricity =major corrosion of everything specially the wires and electric connections and I mean that within minutes you can see the bubbles of O2 and H2 and you know galvanic corrosion is at work. If you suspect salt water inside your engine flush it out with fresh water do not be afraid put the hose right in spark plug hole in two strokes.For 4 strokes you have to empty crank oil first Flush flush flush inside outside ,and flush again. After battery disconnect and flush you can take a break , your engine will not corrode much in the next few hours ,if you cannot work till next day keep engine filled with fresh water,it will take some work to restart but it will not be damaged. For longer storage fill with diesel . Please keep your engines dry and over water not under.

Hello Mr B, yes who knows, not a ship though it was too long and progressive but still in a relatively short space of time comparatively...

Wishing you all the best congratulations on your efforts and your success. Only one point to notice you talk about your insurance company. If they view this video they may not be pleased . In all of the shots in your final trial your not wearing your kill cord so beware when you make your videos.

The minijet is a cool fun little toy but I'd never cruise with one as my only tender. The speed and tiny draught are awesome but there's fuck all space in it and the small size of it makes it dangerous in a swell. In the Caribbean where there's other cruisers to help and workshops, telephone and internet you can deal with issues but if you ever want to go to the pacific and explore remote atolls and islands the minijet its an unwise choice.

@@13yearsaprepperr.jtilbury.51 I appreciate the support, but I was actually just wrong. I didn't see that it was fuel injected. Was trying to help while watching in real time. The information later in the video would have answered my questions had I watched it all the way through before jumping in. Thank you.

question,? if your insurance company sees the video of you trying to repair it etc will it void your ability to make a claim ? unless you’re a certified mechanic?? i know my car insurance did once but knock on wood i’ve never had to claim on my boat motor so i’m wondering 🤨😉

Hi Manon, Its not too bad but the rocks are quite sharp. I was fine but had to help Philippa in with her kit as our dive tanks are heavy and bigger than the normal tanks most dive schools use.
