Stuck at lake. Clutch problem

Depress clutch and it won't work :(

Scenario. Got the undercarriage wet and submerged taking boat out of water but ran fine last night. Been doing this a few times a day.

Went to take the van and kids into town but clutch won't engage.

Press clutch and you can see the clutch lever underneath moving into the clutch housing.

I can't see it getting wet causing a problem but apparently it has.

Ideas or solutions?

I can put it into gear and start it up to use first. Might be able to get it into other gears as well but not pulling anything.

I had the clutch redone about 1.5 years ago. Under 30k

If you still have brake fluid at the full mark then sounds like slave or master is done

Update. Drove it around starting it in first gear doing the trucker shifting up to third. 5 minutes later I had a clutch again. Must have had some corrosion which let go

Phew!

Yeah water/damp often make those friction surface stick, usually I get it with stuck parking brakes on my drum braked scimitar.
