You could try to get a long screwdriver (or similar) and flick it out but your best bet would be to remove the pump. It should only take about an hour or so. That way you can make sure it hasn't done any further damage

I think your going to have to remove the whole thing. my brother sucked up a rock and the waverunner lost all of its power and couldnt even pull us up anymore.

Well,I got it out with a little judicious pounding on a tent stake. But I have no idea how much damage it did. Like you say, poopskater, I hope I don't lose all the power, only way to find out is put the ski in the water. I saved the rock as a little keepsake!
