Thought I' check to see if anyone else has had this happen to them. I mentioned it on the old RJB board last year---no one had. I leave my boat with Berk. JE pump and loader grate in the water at a marina. Three times last year I had warmed boat up and idled through 5mph zone and hit gas and got that "somethings in the pump vibration". 3 separate times I have pulled catfish out of the clean out hole. They were all 8-10inches long. One positivley survived the ordeal. One might have, but would have swam circles for the rest of it's life. And, one lubricated the leading edges of the impeller real well. Trying to get a spiney wiggling critter out of a too small hole and acting cool about it in front of your 6 year old is hard!!!! Anybody else have this happen to them?
