Luckily for most, drowning incidents don;t usually occur when your at full throttle. Low low , good bow wave through a creek or river.
Having said that, and a bit off track. had a bit of a hydraulic problem with the fergy a few months ago, the oilbath filled with water after another one of our dreaded storms. The well meaning father in law,started it, to take it down the orchard and it stopped, he kept tryin to start it and nothing. By the time he told me, I thought he had blown it up. Anyway it was locked no turning. Checked the inlet and found it was full of water.
I suppose this procedure would apply to all deisels, blow or clean the water out of the inlet, take the injectors out, turn it over, lots of water and mist comes out, then to make certain i applied liberal amounts of a wd type product.Turned it over till no mist came. Put it back together and it fired first go, the fergy doesn't have glow plugs, but I would opt for the glow plug opion first, they are usally easier.
