[QUOTE=Sangster]C1...Berkley, Aggressor or Panther would never advise that to be common practice...I hang out at a few jetboat shop that repair more pumps that are tore up by jest starting them in shallow water..let alone running them at speed in shallow water... It's typical jetboat mentality....Hope some poor schmuck that has a jetboat don't take your little sermons to heart... Oh well...If Canuck1 says it's OK..It must be....... BTW.....Any relation to Kim Hanson....

You are from the land of glass hulls and lake boats and drag racing... Mine is built to run rivers, lakes where ever. Tearing up a pump by starting in shallow water? no way
I don't expect parts to last 20 years, alum is good for hulls not impellers. we are hard on parts if it will go through the intake grate it will go through the pump and I might have to sharpen the impeller. My avatar is a good warning to others as to what we like to play in
I can't drink enough beer to be related to Hanson :rollside:
