Yikes...!!
Where to start....was it running when submerged..?? first off you need to dry everything real well. I would remove the muffler and drain it I would also remove the plugs and turn the engine over by hand...check the battery may be shorted out..check all fuses. Drain the oil and change it and the filters. After you get the battery in turn her on and see what works. If you get all systems up put the plugs in hook her up and give it a try...good luck

Glad you got it started. Next time you want to go in the water take a SeaDoo instead.
