I just got a new boat and it has the Sport Jet 175 on it. The second time I took it out the water was pretty rough and I had to unwind some line from the kicker motor so I was leaning out over the rear of the boat a ways. The when I went to start the Sport Jet back up it was hydrolocked. The dealer warned me this could happen. I fixed it and got it fired back up but the problem is not a good problem to have if you are on a river. Luckily I was on a lake and had ample time to float around removing the water. My question, Is there a check valve type system that you can buy for the 175 sport jet to prevent this from happening? I have heard that the Sport Jet 200 prevents this some how? Any more info is greatly appreciated. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Nick
