Kevin,
1) Is the starter functional?
2) does the starter cycle the engine? or does the starter lock up (spark plugs removed)? The latter would tell me that the block is locked up.


I highly doubt the bock would be locked up after encountering a little deep water. I have submerged a number of outboard motors and brought them right back to life, unless the block threw a rod, you should just need to let it air out and change the engine oil.
