    it went from blinking red/green which they say is stall condition. Then it went to a steady green, then to flashing white then it like shut off completly. And the propeller was not running during any of this

    it could be possible, it felt dry to the touch but its possible that the water from the broken skimmer could have gotten on the dry side
