I have a question for jet boaters. I'm a lake fisherman and love to get into the weeds but with the way the milfoil is spreading it's becoming a barrier getting to those places. I have a 1448 with 25 Merc 4-stroke. I also have a MK 50# bow mounted tm. I don't use the tm much because it's such a pain to deploy (a problem for a different thread) and the weedless prop isn't. Although I primarily cast I also troll sometimes using the outboard.
I'm wondering whether a jet would work through thick milfoil a few inches below the water. Do weeds tend to plug up the intake or will the motor take them in and spit them out again? I get the advantages of a jet motor for running rivers. Are there advantages/disadvantages I should understand about using one on lakes?
Thanks in advance.
