I have not heard of any issues but it does not mean there aren't any...

Sounds to me like your starter and alternator were sprayed with Salt Water they corroded and then froze up..

First thing I would do is try to determine what caused the issue in the first place.... Start your engine up on the hose and determine if there is a leak on the raw water cooling side... Could be as simple as a cracked gasket or hose. If it not that then maybe your lower engine cowl is allowing salt water to spray up into your engine??

Good luck and hope your fix is something simple and not too expensive.
