Sucked up rope, boat won’t start

[chippens]

Hello, saw someone else posted this problem recently but didn’t see that it was resolved. Sucked up a tow rope, somehow it got in both sides. Was able to cut it completely out of starboard side. On port side a small piece of it is pinched under the impeller and I can’t get it out.

But now neither engine will start. I get nothing, similar to when it’s not in neutral. Any ideas?

Pull the pumps and try to start both engines without them in, this is also a good time to clean out remaining rope in either pump. Check all kill switches and make sure you’re in true neutral!

check the main fuse you may have blown it trying to start the engine that is locked up also be sure the rear hatch is shut tight

The hatch over the clean out ports wasn’t latched properly. Phew! Sometimes you’re so happy to be dumb!
