Years ago a squall flipped my dinghy with the motor on it. It was not running. Got it home, pulled the spark plugs, carburetor, flushed cylinders thoroughly with fresh water then kerosene, then alcohol. Added a mist of Marvel Mystery oil through the plug holes and dry cranked it slowly for several minutes. Put it back together. It's been running fine ever since.
Friend of mine's boat sank in the slip during Hurricane Rita. Once he got it re-floated, he pulled the injectors and flushed the engine with kerosene. Did two oil changes. He fired it up and still uses it today. There is lots of info on the Internet. Search "pickling motor", "pickling outboard motor", etc. see: <http://www.boatus.com/hurricanes/pickle.asp> for some good advice. Dennis C.
