dunked trolling motoe

My row boat flipped off the hoist last night in the storm. The trolling motor was on the back. We got it back and everything is fine.



The problem is the trolling motor was upside down in the water over night. Has anyone ever dunked one before?



As there was no power to it I am hoping that if I dry it before I hook it up it might be ok.



It is a Minn Kota.



Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.



I know do not let the kids tie the boat down anymore.



Thanks,



NF
