Richard,

Good action movies !

Clive, the B range engines although waterproof when running, will let water in through rear mains when engine is stopped, as the sealing arrangment is not a physical seal, but a scroll. I had to flush out a Stalwart once where the owner bogged it and hull filled with water, and straight in to the sump.
