Long story short I lost a Honda 9.9 outboard off the back of my small fishing boat this summer. I still feel sick thinking about it. Do you guys have any ideas on ways to find it again? It's in about 40 feet of water, fresh water lake, about 100 feet straight out from the dock at my cottage. I have a pretty good idea of where it is. I had two scuba divers who live on the lake come out and dive for it but they only spent about 20-30mins looking for it. They said it was real dark at the bottom and they would need a very bright light which they didn't have. They also said the bottom of the lake was very muddy and they were up over their waists in mud. So it's most likely sunken down into the mud. I spent quite a bit of time trolling for it with a rope and nets but no luck. Looking for ideas. Is there some type of magnet that would work? Is there any type of fish finder/radar/sonar type thing that may work?
