If its a stand up it could just be you need a bilge pump.

otherwise your engine will flood. Not a big deal at all, You just have to make sure you clean the spark plugs and clear the block of water. and it should fire right back up.  I installed a new bilge pump yesterday in my ski and its not a hard install. just check and see what kind it has in it or if it has one at all. but i would guess that is your problem.

Get an automatic one, if thats what you need. boaters world or a store like that will have a good selection, and all the brackets and stuff you will need.
