Flushing new Stradic

What's the concensus on flushing a new Shimano Stradic 8000 after a night of fishing? I used it tonight for the first time while plugging in the surf at singing beach and unfortunately it got dunked. Normally I would just hit it with a fine mist from the hose, but one, it got dunked and two, the Stradic's drag is not water proof. Should I imerse it in fresh water to get rid of any salt water that might be trapped internally?

I knew from the forcast that the surf would be up, but at times it was quite a bit bigger than I expected. One time while I was about calf deep in water and l looked up to see a wave about to break that was a foot taller than I am at about 6 feet. The wave was a ways out from where I was standing, but from then on I gave the surf the respect it deserved and went in no farther than mid calf.
