Water in the starter question

Hey guy's, need some advise.

This past weekend I went on a trip with some jeep buddies and had to do a deep water crossing. I was not able to turn back because we were way too far into the trail. I'm sure my starter got some water in it. This morning when I went to start up to go work it took a little longer to start and when I went to leave work I had to push the start button a few times to get her to start.

Will the starter dry out and be ok or do you all think I'll need to get it replaced?

Thanks for any advise, I don't know much about starters on trucks.

I have a 2016 OR.

 

Well is it cranking and not starting or not cranking then finally starts cranking then starts. People never explain whats going on.

 

What would both answers mean? Would love a little knowledge.

 

The first time it was just slow to start. The second time when I was leaving work it did a short click and would not start. I then tried to start again and it did not click or start. I tried again and it started right up. When I got home I shut her down and waited a few then tried to start it back up, it then clicked and did not start. I tried it again and it started right up.

 

I'd remove it, clean it out for sure. If it hicups again, I'd replace it.
