Get the water out fast or damage may be beyond a quick repair.

Pull injectors, SEAWATer Off and crank engine to blow any water out, SPRAY wd40 or similar into cylinders and crank to spread around. Change engine oil and filter as water may have gotten down. Reinstall injectors, bleed and get started soonest. Once running ensure water gets turned on again immediately. Let run with a good load to fully heat it up for several hours to dry out any remaining water.
Change oil/filter again and run again.

Hopefully you save it. But quick action is essential as rusting of the cylinders and rings won't wait.
