NAY NAY run away, old school outboards could survive a good dunking they had a powerpack and a couple of wires to replace and you were good to go, the new stuff is electronically fuel injected, computer controlled with huge wiring harnesses, electric high pressure fuel pumps, distibutorless ignitions and all kinds of other stuff including all kinds of sensors to much to replace and all that electrical stuff will fail is submerged, if this was a 80's-90's carbed OMC and it was $100 I Would say go for it but thats not hte case with the electronic engines.
