This saved me yesterday immensely. Sucked up a rope into my port side engine while leaving a sandbar off of St Pete beach. Rope was wrapped around my impeller shaft pretty good. Engine would not run and it was squalling pretty bad so you can imagine how crazy that was. Didn't even know it was rope that caused it to stop until we got back on the trailer.

Got home and the brother-in-law and I took a few hours of trying in vain to pull it out before I went to YouTube and found this video. Was able to remove the nozzle and take out the shaft to unravel the rope. Love technology!!!!
