Engine won't spin even though starter wants to spin it.

('02 Merc V-6 M2 210HP carbed w/ Jet-drive in a SeaDoo 205 Utopia.)
Starter spins & engine 'locks' so I have to spin it backwards slightly to free the starter. Spinning it back, I can see the drive-shaft/inpeller has moved, but when I rotated it forward again it hits something pretty solidly & stops.
Before I pull the power-head, is there an 'easier' way to find out where the obstruction might be? I'm guessing it's not in the power-head but if it's in the jet-drive, I'm not sure how to pin-point that.
Since I couldn't get it started, I haven't winterized & it's going to get cold here soon. Is there something in the system that needs to be drained in the meantime?
Ideas?
Thanks!

This is a tough one to diagnose remotely, were you able to get this resolved?
