Omg...nooooooo. stop. Noooo. Please stop.

Just had the same thing happen to me. Did the wood do any damage to the impeller or wear ring??

Great Video... Lose the crappy annoying tunes - So I can hear you better...

I did the exact same thing for the exact same reason 😂. However I stopped at broken bolt and removed the entire pump assembly. And removed debris and replaced wear ring . Bolt has been broken for 3 seasons no issues 🔧🔧🔧

this is how it went , weeds sucked in intake , lay on back deck reach so far remove giant cluster, cousins /family kicks you off into ;weeds laugh as panic sets off and take pics lost sun glasses these are the real memories weeds are made of lol.

The lock didn't break the bolt. It could have stayed there np. You put side force on the bolt instead of twisting only. Should have used an imact gun and take it out a bit, screw it back in, and repeat. And spray some lube on the threads when you can.

Great grate video! One note: the original sealant is probably polyurethane 3M 5200 or similar, which is a structural sealant. The JB Weld is Epoxy. None are silicone and silicone is not a good sealant here.

Thanks for sharing your pain, and hopefully helping someone else from having this problem!

Idk how people do it. I have owned jetskis for 25 years now and not once have I ever got anything stuck in any one of them. I have heard and seen people that ha e had it happen but as long as you don't start or dive it in anything shallower then 3ft and don't tank it in body's of water with tones of debris then you won't ever have a problem

Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot.

I’m sure you were this calm during this process!

🤣🤣🤣 there's $5 broken bolts remover at AutoZone 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Well done.

Guys like This is why buying used skis could be tricky 😂 😂

ahhh the joys of boat ownership

This video should be named how not to remove a stick lol . I fell your pain went from bad to worse . I had this same problem but was able to knock it out with bent bar in a z shape so did not have to remove the grate a lot easier.

Good times :p

Good luck ever getting that grate off again

Save yourself a lot of headache just remove jet assebly at rear

All you had to do is remove the jet at the back 15 minutes and whole assembly comes and and rock falls out that way you can check the ringwear and replace if needed

These boats are notorious for bolts seizing due to the use of stainless steel fasteners. I have broke of many and replaced them with steel as I only use mine in fresh water.

What the hell did you do!! You JB welded your intake grate on thats not silicone!!!!!!

I had the same problem with a piece of wood jammed. All I did was use a long length of 3mm carbon fibre rod and pried it out. Worked fine. Now I always carry the rod and a flashlight with me

Your narration is really calm. How long did you have to wait after fixing this to do the narration?

Just bought a similar boat and saw the video before attempting to mess with it! Thanks

OMG I just bought the same sportster. Got it home and tried removing the grate. Broke the front bolt and have now spent the day on the internet realizing the awful design! I can not believe I have to remove the hoses to get at the nut. Do you think I can just drill out the broken bolt from underneath and then insert the brass insert from underneath? Any other ideas?

Your welcome

Wow! How cool! Thanks for a great instructional fix. Very nice.

Nicely explained! I enjoyed this video. It was clear and easy to understand.

Thanks!👍🏼
