Everybody does that once. Check fuses and circuit breakers. Good luck

Ron,welcome to iboats. You may want to post more info as to what you have engine-wise etc. My WAG with the info you did give is you have a starter full of water. If that is the case you'll be looking at a new one as it will fail you even if you dry it out. I hope I'm wrong... good luck

Re: What do i do

thanks for helping, my boat has a 95 mercruiser 130 horse I/O. the water level was at least up to the starter as far as i can tell, and i was in a fresh water lake. i did not get a chance to run the boat at all

Re: What do i do

double check your oil make sure it is at the proper level and not above, basically you want to see if there is water in it, also starter might be fried, and check your battery it probably went under water also.
