Thanks for the reply! New to the forum. I've never had an issue with standing water/cavitation/etc. I'm going to call the dealer and see what they say.
Thanks! Bought it brand new in May 2018 from a local dealer. I've never sucked up a rope or had any significant debris in the shaft/impellar and I usually check it after every trip. No performance issues to report...tops out around 50/55mph and quick hole shot every time. That's a good idea on checking to see how deep the hole is...it did occur to me that it might not be all the way through. I know it's a long shot - but could this be a manufacturing error?
Right?! That's my biggest concern. My only hope is that it doesn't go all the way through.
