Last ride of the year last fall, out for a chilly ride and sunk it deep in the river. After a few hours of pumping the water out upside down and cleaning the plug and re-trying, finally got it running. Instant bad squeal from the main bearings, but had to ride it to he nearest road or it'd stay there! In the middle of a complete rebuild now. If sunk, you need to get running asap and run til it can evaporate all the water out of it. Unfortunately, mine was destined to come apart! But hey, nothing like a fresh motor, no?
