In Topic: sucked up a tow rope
12 June 2011 - 03:03 PM
I had just brought my first Seadoo with 40 hours, I had many boats before, and took it out a few times, yesterday I took the kids and my sister out. I always want to have another adult with me. Anyway, all was wonderful and I was ready to head home when my son wanted to go tubing one more time. The engine was running and I went into gear then the engine stopped. My sister said the rope is stuck. I then turned off the battery and jumped over board yup it was stuck. I then went under the boat several times but couldn't free it. Then we got towed back and my brother met us with the trailer. I waited until I got home to do anything so I would have my arsenal of tool. The rope was wrapped around the shaft and didn't enter the impeller. So I cut the rope and began unwinding it but could reach, and I removed the intake grate. The rope was out in less then 5 min and only about six feet of rope. When I put the grate back on I used marine grade silicon in the front bolt then decided to flush the system with fresh water and everything seemed okay. Lesson learned take up the slack.
I am assuming all is good, but is there anything I should check before taking her out again?
Do the wake towers reduce the chances of this type of problem?
