Glad to see we are not the only members of the "sucked a ski-rope" club...... Holy Moly that rock must have made a racket!! Glad there was no damage!The biggest PITA was a frisbee (it wedged in there really well).
- Also lifted a 4x8 sheet of plywood off the bottom
- Ski rope
- sticks
- A baseball sized rock (in my old LX210)-we coasted over a rock pile, I shut down immediately-no damage, but man it make a hell of a noise!!! Scared the crap out of me!
Locks here are the same, filled with trash.On a trip up the Ohio river last June, the locks were so filled with shit, I was sucking something up every lock.
- Plastic Bags
- A rope, compliments of my brother-in-law while releasing from a lock.
- Sticks, twigs, leaves
- and a Condom
Wow, I never thought an oyster shell would do that. I figured the shell would just get chopped up.Oyster shellsView attachment 2837

I had a slip on a lake in Wisconsin, and the water level dropped quite a bit. The slip was already shallow, and this day I backed out of the slip and started very slowly (idle) cruising out. Then the boat slowed to a halt. I'm thinking...WTF...maybe I sucked up weeds. So I pull the plugs (this was on my LX210) and there is NOTHING in there. So I start the boat again and she moves a little, then slows to a stop again. So I decide to goose it a little and move deeper. Nothing. Now this has me really perplexed. So I pull the plugs again and really reach in there, and feel the grate....and sure enough, there is something up against the grate on both sides! So I get out of the boat and reach underneath, and a totally waterlogged, bendable 4x8 sheet of plywood that is neutrally buoyant is sitting under the boat! I pull it out and drag it to the shore. It had probably been on the bottom for ages, and the jets just lifted it up off the bottom!How did you pick up a 4x8 sheet of plywood?!
Nothing in my 210 however my old polaris jet ski from years back we sucked up a rock and it cracked the impeller, snapped the shaft and destroyed the housing on its way out...
