:cuss:Just got my 2008 RXT-X ski back from the 10 hour dealer service. Ran like a champ prior, observing break in ritual to the T. Idled through our endless no wake zone to the lake and hit the throttle. Engine roared, vibration in the back of the ski and would not get on plane. 8.5mph max. Engine reved but big vibration from stern. Appears to be no obstruction after taking it out of the water.

It will go to the dealer shortly but would like to be more informed befor I get there. Any thoughts? Wear ring issue? It sure feels like some sort of pump issue. It idles fine, bump the idle slightly for quick idle ... fine. Anything beyond that ... frown. I'd really appreciate any thoughts from the "way smarter than me folks"

Thanks in advance ... PS love my 2010 rxt-x ... awesome ski!!!

UPDATE: Upon further review ....

Lesson learned, check for obstructions more closely with a flashlight .... Simple grate removal, half hour of finding/making the right tool for stick, bark and crap removal ... dunked her and ran great. Thanks for your help!
