what a bad day. the river local to me i have ran plenty of time but in my jet ski, little did i know that the channel in the river (no markers or boyes) is not in the middle but closer to shore.the motor shut off when i got shallow

i got out and set my 2 fish finders to send a alarm at 3 feet and my debth finder to go off at 3 feet. neither one did when i ran around :mad: acutually the debth finder said i was in 22 feet of water.

anyway got out and pulled the boat about a 1/2 mile in mud. thought i was gonna die (im a smoker and out of shape) finnaly got to waist high water started the motor ran fine for about 20 feet then died again, no restart had to be towed back.

before i call my repair man where do i go from here.
