Only thing in worried about is my Dual pro on board charger. It was halfway submerged. I was out of town during the last big rain here! You think it will be ok?

They are sealed units Jacob. Should be fine.

first, check to see if your batteries are dead, if there dead it's most likely fried

All batteries are fine. Water didn't go over them and it wasn't plugged in. Just scared of what it's going to do when I do plug it up.

Yikes. That sucks. Good luck with it. It should be alright though.
You'll never know till you plug it in.

I think I'm going to let it dry out for a day.

How did it fill up with water? Is it on land and you left the plug in? Or is it on the water and no cover?

It was on land. I left the plug in because I'm dumb!

Should be fine....I personally don't think letting it sit will help....it's a sealed unit and if any water DID get in...it won't dry out any time soon...mine has been submerged and was fine....

Remove your batteries from the trays and dry the trays out. The trays do not drain because they are designed to catch battery acid.
If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life,
there'd be a shortage of fishing poles

I leave my plug in, but I cover my boat when it rains. I also have a float switch on the bilge pump. If the boat gets more than an inch of water in it the bilge comes on automatically. They aren't very expensive.

hopefully it didnt bend the axle on your trailer, water is heavy.
COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

I dare say you are not the first that does "Stupid." I prefer to think I'm "forgetful," not stupid.
