Default 2010 ranger crew pics after saltwater bath

Here is some pics of a crew I pulled out of the marsh. I bought it from owner and have been working on getting her back to normal. Check out pic of clutch. Magnesium plate and saltwater don't mix.hotobucket.com/albums/x368/Yellowfin70/1-9-11017.jpg[/IMG] Name:  1-9-11015.jpg

Besides having to replace the clutch, what else have you had to do ?. Have you been able to get it started yet ?.
It looks to be in great shape otherwise.

At high tide it was underwater, like in picture, for atleast a couple hours. For about a week. I wish I would have found it when it first got stuck. So far I have clutch and wiring harness to put in. Everything else is working fine. I flushed every nook and cranny with salt free and flooded engine and tranny with diesel and oil. Hope to have running by thursday. Name:  polaris.jpg

Here is a good read about why that happened and how its prevented using zinc plates.....
