[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 441189, member: 12925"] First take it to a lake or river for a test run. Jets do not like a lot of debris in the water. If you were helping after the hurricane everything was in the water. Anything sucked up to the intake will cause a loss of power. It doesn't matter how much you rev it, if it can't pull water through the intake it will not go anywhere. Most of the time when you shut it off the debris will float away, so when you check it there is nothing there. Sometimes you will have to clear it with your hand. Think of them as a big vacuum cleaner, anything near will get sucked in or stick to the grates. Any debris the boat is going over is headed for the intake. When it happens the motor usually sounds a little more high pitched and will rev but not feel like it's pushing the boat. Flood waters are very dangerous to run in for these reasons. You can get in trouble very quick. With all the flooding Houston had there was tons of stuff in the water and I'm sure that was your problem. Great job helping out. If you test it in the river go up river till you know for sure that was the problem. Let us know how it does so we can help if you still have issues. [/QUOTE]
