Due to seven inches of rain in 24 hours my brothers boat sunk. He was able to get it out but doesn't know what steps he should take to get the motor going again.<br />The motor is a 3 cylinder 130 hp inboard yamaha L43.0<br />We know we need to drain the oil but that's all we know to do right now.

I don't know all the steps to take but i would take the spark plugs out and spray wd 40 in the cylenders and the rest of the moter untill the experts on here fill you in on the rest. I know that the longer it is out of the water befor you get it dried out and running the more problems you will have.
