My shore power cord plug was in the water

I was washing my boat down today and not sure how it happened but the plug to my shore power cord that connects to the boat got knocked off the dock and was face down a few feet underwater. Not just the cable, but again, the plug itself (female end).

I really didn't know what to do, and it was already submerged, so I rinsed it with fresh water and left it hanging to dry.

I'm assuming if I give it 3 or 4 days it will be completely dry and will be fine.

Should I be concerned?

BTW - the cord was not powered when it went into the water. I never leave the power on when the cord isn't plugged into the boat.

Thx,
Mike
