I bled the fuel lines by moving the engine by hand so there was no exhaust pressure to blow out the water in the exhaust hose. It filled up and then it went in to the exhaust valve . We noticed it commig out of the air intake.
I then shut the raw water cock and continued to move the engine around by hand with the decomression levers on so that the valves were open.
when I thaught it was empty I tryed starting it and it came to a complete stop .I guess it only did a couple of revolutions or not even a full.
There was obviously some water left.

So next time I will shut the raw water cock.............
Hopefully one learn something every day.
