My first sinking!

<< < (3/3)

flag-d:
I managed to get around 3 pints of sea water into my MTB hull the weekend before last: sloshing around all over the place.  JJC modules wet, RX wet, ESC's wet, plugs/connectors wet and motors too, all four of 'em!  Rinsed everything through with fresh water, left to dry naturally and I appear to have got away with it...we'll see though!

Boatmadman,
I hope this was a mistype "and eventually even the tx started working again! " or did you throw the Tx at the damned boat for sinking?

cbr900:
Mike they may be working but I would keep a very good eye on them as the salt water even though washed with freshwater can still cause a corrosive reaction and you may lose some if not all yet, I hope you are lucky and all stays well..

Roy

boatmadman:
well, 2 months on, had the boat out again today and all is still well! (even the tx) ;)
Probably waiting to fail midlake!

Ian

MikeK:
Thanks Roy I will be very wary for a while. There is an article covering this in the latest MMI magazine
Best regards
MikeK
