If I get the retriever model and drop the motor, will it come back up by itself?

Let's hope that's not a sniggery reference to me almost accidentally falling off the cooler, last year! :x Besides, if it was one of your valuable vintages the glass would be empty before hitting the water. :D
I was going to pick up a little 'scotty' version for you but as I remember by the lay of yer kilt, I'd have to move down to the 'weiner' dog model - and they were out of production! :P
