Have an 07 Speedster 150 (non Super Charged). I was at the lake Sunday and had the boat moored/roped near the shoreline not even 6ft out. My brother went to go move the boat to a closeby floating dock, (where the water is deep and people can board).. Instead of pushing it out where you'd have a 3ft draft and starting the motor, he starts it right where it was (in the very shallow area) and it seems as though it sucked up a bunch of sediment (perhaps small pebbles, dirt, lake sand etc)... He reversed out and in the deeper water when attempting to run it approx 10mph / 2000RPM, the boat bogged down and did not wanna GO! You could hear a nasty noise coming from the rear as well!
Ran it for not even 2-3 extra minutes trying to see what would happen, but had no luck! Bogged down boat that didn't wanna GO and the continued nasty noise coming from the back! Made it to the dock, parked it and tied it up there. The boat sat there for approx 2 hours. Went back, started it and "magically" it worked! Reverse, forward, neutral, nasty noise vanished. Drove it out into the lake 55mph, 6000,7000RPMs, no problem! Ran like normal! We then pulled it out of lake and trailered it. Inspected the rear gate/jet area and saw nothing! Inspected the rear underside, nothing! Everything looked fine!
Should I be concerned?
