[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 337770, member: 7376"] A jet is useless in anything but rocky bottom waterways. In muddy areas, typically you'll spend some time lifting the foot out of the water to let the leaves and debris off of the intake. Sand wears impellers and sleeves. Quickly. Goes right through them, but wears 'em out quicker than anything. They're pretty common around here with the 2 famous trout streams. Some guys I know bought a jet to run in flooded timber/mud bottom and they hated them and went back to a prop drive. I've run on in sandy bottom river in the past and found that they tend to suck some sand up off of the bottom, more at lower speeds. [/QUOTE]
