Title: No Clue
Post by: 72 Nordic on June 19, 2022, 08:46:10 PM

Just hit Elsinore for Father?s Day, rolled out of the beach and hit it and got a big vibration and no power to move forward. Limped it back to the trailer and called it a day. Can anyone describe what this could possibly be?

Was it fine before that? I was at the river and everything was fine. I pulled into the marina at my mom?s place. When motoring out, I went over the rock bar and I shut the motor off. Get out to the river and had vibration and would not get on plane. Got home opened it up, nothing. Put it back together and ran it, it was fine. I?m assuming the rocks must have fallen out. Years ago I thought my jet was fine. Took it apart to paint and found a 1-1 1/2? x 4? long rock in one of the vanes of my bowl. I?m still baffled how it got there.
You might have got something in the jet. I know they have a low spot at the end of the channel. Take a look up in the intake and see what you can. Maybe take the bowl off and check inside.

Literally Just fixed a dudes ultra with a bravo that ran thru the sand bar coming out of the cove, said he shut it down as soon as it hit but who knows, either way the imp housing was completely destroyed and probably spent a couple hours flushing the system back and forth clearing out a bunch of pebbles and small rocks. If an in/out with those small intake holes could pick all that up I could imagine what a jet would do
