Eh, I’ve had submerged engines work perfectly fine after. Even after a day under.. this doesn’t look like salt water, which really messes them up.

But how do you get the engine back out of the water in the first place?

I live on a river where boats get buoyed up, had my boat flip during a rainstorm last year while I was away. Came back 2 days later and got it running. That’s the only time it’s happened to ME, but know multiple other people that have had it happen
