92' XP water in engine

Hi guys I'm a newbie so please bear with me.
Last week I sunk my 92 XP I was able to get it out of the water before it sank completely. Now I cannot get it to turn over. I found water in the engine and I think the starter relay is bad it will not crank. I ran a wire directly from the starter to the battery and it try to start but will not turn over. I pulled the spark plugs and they have water. I try to turn it over with out spark plugs and it sprays water. Can some one help me!
THANKS

The problem is the water that got in the engine. I would get it fired up as quickly as possible so as not to lead to rust and corrosion and possible engine seizure. Remove the spark plugs and leave the caps on the grounding post. Turn the engine over to remove the water from the cylinders. Spray a little wd-40 in the cylinders to help displace the water. Hit the starter for a few seconds at a time letting it cool down for a few minutes, while trying to get the water out. When it seems like all the water is out, insert the spark plugs and get it started. Use the choke or a little fuel and injector oil as a premix to help fire it up. Don't use starting fluid. If it doesn't fire up repeat the procedure. Pull the spark plugs, hit the starter, insert fresh spark plugs get it to fire up. Time is of the essence. The longer it takes to get it fired up the more chance of damage to the internal engine components.
Keep us posted on you progress.
