[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 335260, member: 6937"] That's an advantage that the OB jets have over inboard jets, if they get clogged, you can tilt up and clear the debris. Inboard jets take a little more work, sometimes doing a quick hamilton spin (180 at throttle) and cutting the engine will back-wash the debris. Sometimes, you have to cut the engine and rock the boat continuously. Putting it in reverse, gunning the throttle, then cutting the engine and pulling up the reverse bucket will work, too. But sometimes, none of these methods gets the debris clear, and that's when the stomp grate comes in real handy. I ran for about a year or so without a stomp grate, but one day, I had to idle 5 miles back to the landing with something stuck in the grate (don't know what it was, because, naturally, it came out right about the time I got to the ramp) After that, I went ahead and modified the boat for a stomp grate.
