AND if you have a 4-stroke motor you have problems. When a hot 4-stroke engine hits cold water, the air in the crankcase shrinks and sucks in a glop of water. The bearings don't dry out just from running it up to temp, so flush the bearings with a corrosion inhibiting oil like corrosion-X or marvel Air tool oil.
Sorry Jim I don't agree with you on this one, you've seen my Quaker with the Saito .56 and it's been under too many time to count and I just flip the motor over to clear the water, prime it with a finger over the carb, start it and get it in the air. I've been flying the same motor on the Quaker for at least eight years and have never replaced bearings or had any issues with it. I just make sure I don't put it to bed "wet".
