I'm working on an interesting pump stack and there are a few sections where the pumps won't be directly on top of each other. In order to transfer power to them it would be easiest to run the gear assemblies and axles through an area that will eventually be flooded. Will those gear assemblies and axles stop working once submerged?

No. Go for it.

Awesome.
I'll need to show this one off when I'm done.
Its the first time I've done anything with pumps and such so if I can make it look pretty that will be even better.
I'm on a map that has a river with a tributary waterfall. Kind of cuts the map apart like an upside down "Y"
There's a high point that over looks the area that the waterfall dumps into and I thought to myself "you know what. I need to build some type of temple or something there"
I'm going for some type of temple looking thing that will have water poring off of the roof back into the river below. I haven't thrown this thing into any kind of 3D viewer yet so its totally possible It'll look like crap, but I can always chalk that up to being a newbie

Slightly off topic, but you can theoretically even transfer power through magma if you build the power supply soley out of magma-safe mechanisms.

Or, if you're not averse to a bit of modding, you could make a type of wood magma-safe (raise both its ignite point and heatdam point to above 12000) and then use it for your axles.
