Hi Fred,
With it being a relatively simple 2 stroke motor / not having been in the
water for long it should be just fine.
We had several outboards when I was a kid and a few ended-up on the bottom
of the lake.. As a precaution we would "Rinse it" by taking the spark
plugs off and pouring some 2 cycle motor oil in the carburetor throat(s)
then pulling the starter string / adding oil until no trace of water is
coming out of the plug holes..
It worked every time with no issues outside of a little extra smoke at the
beginning of the initial run coming from the residual "Rinsing" oil.
Good luck.
Best Regards,

Through an unfortunate accident my 4 hp 2 cycle Suzuki went to the bottom
of the Columbia (fresh water) on Saturday. A diver is going to retrieve
it
tomorrow.
Fortunately, the engine was not running at the time and the tank vent
closed.
What are some of the things I should do to get it running again.
