Yes, Welcome aboard! If I may ask do you have mechanical experience & tools? Let’s hope the water only got the driveshaft a little. Yes I agree, the cooling impeller is rotted by now. Before putting any money into it check the compression using a pressure gauge
See if the heart of the motor is OK. Then move forward to a major tune up & resealing of the gearset. The Scott guy had many parts for your motor but he has passed. I have tried to track them & I think they have been sold to another party. When he desides market them is anyones guess. When you spin the motor over with spark plugs removed be sure to ground the plug wires or magneto may be hurt. ScottAtwater & Mac motors are great runners as many ran them racing go carts, very fast!
Good luck with your motor & please ask before damaging the motor. Post the serial number too so we can I.D. it too.
