+1. That's what the tow hook is for. Pull the carpets and ease it down the boat ramp and back out.

Then put it on a trailer, backwards and with windows and hatch open, and drive it home 10 hours on a hot, sunny day.

Do all this while lighting candles to St. Jude and it just might work.

put a dehumidifier in there and it will pull all the moisture out in a few days. The asking price is very optimistic.

Maybe a pool full of rice for a few days might work better. They say it works with cell phones.



Very sad indeed.

Moisture is not the big problem salt and sediment is. It's probably too late. You need to get to it before it dries.

I know, but there is no way to get salt out of the wiring.
