Just found a sweet deal on a 2007 with only 29 hrs and well taken care of so I picked it up on Friday. Put it in the lake today and had a great time UNTIL.... I was two minutes away from docking at the marina, checking out a little cove when my dock rope that I stupidly had down in the footwell went into the water and was quickly sucked up into the grate. The engine stopped and fortunately I was near the dock and was towed in. After getting home I removed the grate, cut the rope out and replaced the grate. I tried to start the engine but it would only spin. Finally it started and I revved it a couple of times and water shot out the back. I let it rest and started it again and it seemed to be hesitating when I revved it, but maybe its just me. I know not to run it longer than 10-15 seconds but do you think I may have damaged anything due to the rope getting sucked in? Thanks
