I hit a gravel several feet from the boat ramp. I thought I was clear of the shallaws I pushed the ski out until the water was below my chest. Filp the stitch and hit the start button. Skimmed across a gravel bar. With the assistance of Gildo we finally got the rocks out. Gee I wonder why it cavitated? Good thing I bought a stator section for my husband to replace on his ski. He only has a dime size plug out of one his viens, he didn't do nearly as good of a job as I did.:banghead:
