    If it sank because of a faulty bellow, you're likely out of of luck.

    That improves your chances if you can see damage from a strike

    Id pickle it with diesel as its about the cheapest.   

    If you are in fresh water and clean it out quickly you should be ok.  Even with fresh water, it doesn't take long for things to start rusting.

    So have you been able to see it out of the water? Is the bellows damaged? I'd thing it would have to be about gone or your pumps would have kept up with it? Any work done on the motor recently? I thought I was sinking but was  my fault. I pulled my motor to re seal the transom and when I put the motor back in i did not have a hose tight- could not see the leak. Scared the crap out of me.

    Depending on what coverage you have, that should be covered.    Hopefully it won't take much to pit her back on the water
