Default Submerged outboard Ch 2

Thanks to the several people who responded to my first post earlier this
week about my dunked Merc outboard. I took their advice and tried to get the
engine going.
With the plugs out, the starter cord turns her over with no problem. With
the plugs screwed in, it is almost impossible to pull the cord. ?????
Surely it didn't seize this soon. And if it is seized, surely it would not
be possible to turn her over with the cord.
The engine came out of the water Thursday and was promptly dried up as much
as possible and engine oil put into the two cylinders.
It was fresh water, not salt.
Any further advice would be very welcome.
