Help! Boat filled with rain water

[Saul]

Hello everyone!

Great post! I am a new boat owner and made the mistake of leaving my boat plug in. I have a 110 Johnson outboard. When I arrived at the storage facility where the boat is kept the boat was tilted right back on the trailer.  The prop was not touching the ground. I couldn't pull the boat down as I figured the wind blew it up so I pulled rhe plug and quite a bit of water poured out. The interior of the boat was completely dry.  The plastic oil tank seemed untouched  and I didn't see any water anywhere inside the boat. Is there anything I should be concerned about?

Thank you in advance!

Wiring maybe?  Hopefully just water in the bilge and no worries.

With an outboard you probably don't have much to worry about, but you should probably check for water in the fuel tank and make sure that the battery didn't submerge.
