This is our first flood here on Logan Martin but all in all, it looks like we were fortunate. My only concern is the underdeck electrical wiring. How long should I wait before trying to power up the dock again?

Being electrical wiring near water it should be protected BUT..... If your switches and outlets sat underwater I would let dry several days before testing......

Thanks.

The switches were about 6 inches above the water line so they are ok. But the wiring was underwater for the
better part of 5 days. Just to be safe, I am going to wait until the weekend to try it. I had to float my pontoon
out in the water and tie it off to keep it from hitting the ceiling of the lift house but was able to pull it back in
and position it over the lift this morning. As the water went down, it sat down on the runners and is fine.
