Thats better than what happened to me. I was crossin' some water & it got a little to deep. It died right there in about chest deap water. Sucked water in my motor. I thought it was a goner. I changed the oil & filter at least 10 times. The oil was real milky at first, but the more I changed the oil, the clearer the oil became. It became very expensive. It runs just as good as new. I will never cross water again with out checkin' how deep it is. Lesson learned the hardway. Good luck with your fix.
