Yes, it happened.
While tubing today, the ski rope line got crossed under the ski and of course got sucked into the intake grate and tangled in the impeller, drive shaft, and other internal workings in the area I assume. Being new to owing a Sea Doo, I need help. I would have to say that in about few split seconds before being able to kill it, it managed to suck up 40+ ft. of the ski line. I am not sure if it all is tangled in there or if any got chopped off and shot out the back. My guess is most of the rope is tangled in it.
What needs to be done? Obviously I know the rope needs to be removed, more than likely being cut out carefully without removing the intake grate, but is there anything else I should worry about? After all the rope is removed, is there any way of checking for damage or something I should look out for to signal damage not detected?
Any advice, hints, and suggestion are greatly appriciated.
I own a 2012 Sea Doo GTI SE 155 if it would happen to matter.
