If you're lucky, there should be a drain plug for the float bowl (the bottom portion of the carburetor). Put a rag or something under the drain plug and then remove the drain plug, letting the gas/water flow out onto the rag. While you're at it, you may want to flush the carburetor with CRC Carburetor Cleaner, or something comparable. Give the cleaner time to evaporate, then put the drain plug back in. (Note: older outboards can have high speed needles where the drain plug should be. You can remove the needle, just make sure when you put it back in, it is in EXACTLY the same configuration it was in before. Also, DO NOT screw the needle in all the way to where it "bottoms out," as this may damage the needle permanently.)
Water in the carburetor is NEVER good, and MAY require you to rebuild your carburetor to make sure that any corrosion/gunk has been thoroughly flushed out.
