Sealines are pretty bullet proof, and probably the perfect kayak reel. I've dunked mine plenty of times with no real problems.

Rinse it with fresh water, let it dry. If it seems to be working fine and the drag is decently smooth- no worries. When you let it dry, back off the drag so any water trapped in the drag washers can evaporate.

Good luck next time you head out
