Probably not well - sea water is conductive and corrosive.

Should run for a while - even possibly a long while depending on all
sorts of factors. But the motor would be ruined.

If it was wet with clean fresh water, nothing. It would run and dry
out. Salt water would rapidly cause things to corrode.
