Unless the filter is completely submerged, this notion that engines are sucking enough water outta the air to hydrolock needs to die.

This.
Socks were a must for me. We rarely get rain here but I didn't want to have to worry when we do. Never had an issue. Sometimes I just wipe them down with a paper towel if they get dirty. It's incredible how clean they keep the filter.
