Well, I ran aground on a sand bar and sucked a lot of sand into the motor, a 2003 Honda B15D. I've run it on the muffs and not gotten anywhere near all the sand out. I took it out briefly, but it bogged down and wanted to die. When I put it on the muffs it ran well at idle and then just quit, but would restart. I didn't get any kind off overheating alarm, but I'm not sure this motor has one. I pulled the t-stat and there is a lot of sand in there. I'm thinking of running water down the hole, as well as running it in a tank. I have also thought of running it with the t-stat out for a just while, but I'm unsure of the consequences of it if would even help.
I'd really like to avoid another big shop bill. Any thoughts or experience with this?
