I PUT MY XP INTO THE WATER YESTERDAY FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, NOT SURE IF I GOT STUFF STUCK IN THE IMPELLAR, BUT, WHEN I WAS IN THE WATER IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER TO GO ANYWHERE. I TRIED TO REV IT TO GET IT BACK INTO LAND AND IT BEEPED QUITE A BIT AND BY THE TIME I GOT INTO LAND, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE PIPE TO LEFT OF IT AND SMOKE ALSO FROM THE ENGINE AREA. IT DID END UP BEING VERY HOT. WHEN I GOT IT OUT OF THE WATER THERE SEEMED TO BE WEEDS ETC THAT FELL OUT OF THE IMPELLAR. CAN YOU HELP??
