Sorry to hear, but the motor's bearings and other shiny metal is rusted and not worth fooling with any more. just an opinion

Call your insurance agent.

Salt water for a few months? The motor became a mooring anchor after a few days! Possibly and hopefully your insurance may help you. Good Luck!

So it is a power head deal then? or do i have to junk the whole motor?

Lower unit may be still good , but the electrical, electronics, and all shiny parts are probably toast
