Default Submergbed outboard

I've just recovered my 20 horse Merc outboard from the river. It went under
when heavy rain submerged the small boat it was attached to.
I brought it indoors, dried up what I could, put a heat gun on wet areas,
especially the electrical components, took out the plugs, poured oil in the
cylinders and pulled the starter a few times, drained the lower unit then
sprayed everything I could with WD 40.
a)Have I forgotten anything?
b)What are the odds on getting it going next spring?

Thanks
