I would give it a try. I rather doubt that water go into the gear case. The gearcase is designed to keep oil in and water out. If it wasn't leaking oil I would rather doubt that water got in. The motor could be fine, it could be completely dead or it could fail rather stunningly. The most finicky thing would be if the water got up into the console. There it could have wreaked all sorts of havoc with the timer contacts. Expect that first few spins and subsequent breaking to be noisy as I am sure the inside of the spin clutch and brake are quite rusty. This should quiet down after a few uses.
