So I had the boat out the last two days and she has been running great and then yesterday just as I was headed back to the dock my power suddenly drops to near nothing !! I immediately lowered the throttle and the engine sounds fine so I slowly throttle back up and again no power just a lot of noise and shutter. So at this point I am certain I have sucked something up in the impeller and since I was close by the dock I just limp back at about 5 mph.as it seemed fine at that RPM. Just pulled the grate and found what was left of a blue bottle cap, about half. Pulled the cap out and everything else looked ok so I think I should be good next weekend. With that said, is there an upgraded grate or grate cover for these boats that give more protection ? Looks to me like some type with a screen or wire mesh would have easily prevented this. Any experience or thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks !
