Yep,
I sucked up a bunch of Sea grass that was floating in the Barge Canal yesterday. Going in reverse in a jet boat doesn't clear it out. :rolleyes: Had to jump into the water, dive under the boat and I pulled 2-3 Hands full of seagrass out of the jet intake grate! :eek: Jumped back in, started her up and off I went. :D Dean |

Re: Picked up a bag yesterday...
Last year I sucked a plastic bag in through the low water pickup. Temp. Skyrocketed so I shut it down and checked the sea-strainer. It was clear but I still wasn't pumping any water. I had to get towed in and when we pulled the boat out of the water there was a 1" piece of bag sticking out. I ended up pulling a whole plastic grocery bag out of the pickup :eek:
After that episode I installed a water pressure gauge. |

Unfortunatley, I was in a Manatee zone! :mad: But one of the many cool things about this little Seaddo jet boat is we can run along the outside of most of the Manatee zones, because it'll run in 2 feet of water! :eek: Dean |
