My guess would be treat it like when you pull the chute on a Cirrus GA aircraft. Total loss, but you didn't die!

Mikael at Candela here. The cost of replacing the foils vary, but considerably less than the lower unit of an outboard on 25 foot boats. I actually ran over a submerged chain and broke the foil once - the only time that has happened in Sweden. Took us an hour to replace it, so no big deal You hoist the foil/struts down completely and insert a new one.
