    Sucked in dirt

    Hi, i'm new here and i'm doing this for a friend. She started her jet ski close to the shore and it sucked in a bunch of dirt and rocks. I searched but i didn't see anything related. My friend told me to change the jet filter and it should be good. We pulled a rock out and it shakes a lot still and it rattles. What would i need to do? It's almost like a fan blade thats out of balance it feels weird and vibrates more. Any help please?
    Edit: its a 2007 SEADOO 4-tec

    Propeller will be damaged as well as the plastic duct.
    New propeller and duct will be required to fix it properly. You may if you have minimal damage perhaps have the prop. rebuilt by a specialist.
    Don't keep running like that as it will damage the pump bearings with the out of balance vibration.

    As gossie said above. Fair chance the wear ring is shot & the impeller could be damaged. Unsure where you are but if the prop is damaged it would pay to send the entire pump to a shop like propeller repairs australia on the goldy this way the prop is matched to the wear ring.

    Good thinking Cookie. Propeller repairs are in Johnson St Southport and do a fine job.

    Yan from Propeller Repairs Australia has done some great work for me on jet pumps and cleaning up and re pitching my boat props. Highly recommend him.
