rope in jets

I agree with this.
However, cracking the intake tunnels is entirely possible along with messing up the intermediate bearing housing. If the engines were not turned off immediately... and the rope cocooned around (both!) shafts...

The mechanic may not have used proper explanation.
If shafts have to be replaced, that is a big-ish job because of the main bearings in the stator segment. I’ve never done that myself or had it done for me, yet, but if the shafts are really bent... the damage is likely extensive.
I would think a PWC shop maybe way less expensive.

Yes I will look at damaged parts. Boat and shop is 1 hour away from our house. We live in central Pa. Boat on Lake Raystown.

I am going to try to get down to shop tomorrow Friday

Just a thought, but for that much money, a second opinion (taking it to a second shop) might be in order.
