    Sucked up mud / rocks in jet ski and won’t accelerate

    I have a 2003 gti and took it into Shallow water and sucked up mud or rocks. Once I got out of the shallow area I gave it gas and it started making a bad noise and vibrating.

I also know that the way Seadoo (or any rotax) set up works is the opposite of a prop driven boat in reverse. My question is two part-(a) is yamaha reverse steering...

    I heard talk about this in the forum.. but I couldn’t nor for the life of my figure out WHY… Sea doo is confirmed making a line of pontoon boats. I am personally not a fan of pontoon boats, but maybe that’s because I haven’t hit the big 40 yet. Any thoughts on this from you pontoon guys...

    Want To Buy 2012-2013, 242LS or 212x
