Got a small rock stuck in impeller

[Googus]

Ok guys had my ski for 4 years and believe it or not after 190hrs never happened before.

Got the rock out but seems to be minor damage.
With picture should I be concern with the rubber thing that got a bit torn up? If so any links on how to put a new one on so I don't get ripped by dealer?
Thanks
Greg

You have to pull the pump to get to it. Does your ski have IBR or not?

Don't pull the grate anymore. Easier to pull the pump. You'll need a prop removal tool..inexpensive. A new nose cone....and the prop?....prolly the ring too?....eh.....I'd just get new ones.

And quit running your boat in shallow water.

It's a 2012 GTR 215 yes it has a IBR.
Is all that above hard to do? I am not too mechanically incline.
I did not turn the ski off soon enough while coming into an island. Learned my lesson.
Do you think I can run it a couple more times and do repair during the winter?
Thank you
Greg

I would not.. You will likely get water into the impeller bearings and that will cause issues pretty quick. It is a pretty eay fix right now assuming your bearings are good. Here is a link that shows what needs to be done. This is from my GTX that does have the IBR/VTS.
