Help, please.
when idling the thing sounds terrible, and sounds like someone is knocking on the bottom. it bounces around and makes un pleasent noise. When you give it gas it sounds perfect. Near the end of our set when going full throttle it would suddenly die down and then speed up again but without gas the clanking would still happen.
I think its the impeller but i really have no idea.

Now last weekend i was at a lake and docking near trees with a bunch of debris in the water and i would try to be careful but i know i ran over some leaves and stuff.

Please help.

clean out the impeller and the jet, replace the o-rings and the bearings..

STOP RIDING UNTIL YOU DO THAT... YOU DO NOT WANT TO CAUSE MORE DAMAGE

or maybe you do Smash

if there is a knocking noise you very well could still have a rock or two in there?

You should get them to do a full tune up while its in the shop.. plugs, oil, o-rings, etc.

What's the year, make, and model of the ski? What was the turnaround time for the repairs?
