Hi Guys,
I'm new to this site but have found it extremely helpful.

Last year I had a lot of trouble with weeds clogging up the motors. My lake gets very weedy as the season gets warmer.

Because the grate is fixed I can't open it to get at the weeds and I can't get my arm through the grate to pull weeds out. is there any tool for this? What if I widen the grate so I can reach in?

I've heard there are other impellers that will chop the weeds up. Has anyone else had this problem? Are there any solutions? Thanks for any help, I really don't want to give up on the jet drive and go back to prop-powered boats but this weed problem is becoming a real hassle. Can barely get away from the dock and One engine is clogged. I find if it sits long enough the weeds will work loose on their own but I end up losing most fo the day.
