So I did it again, Went out for a great ride today and lunch in Florida around Boca Grande. I literally touched a shallow spot for 10 seconds and bingo sand sucked in and my temp started rising so I shut it down and got a tow in. I have the 496 HO with the Bravo drive with the high speed pickup which is great for speed but is the first thing to hit the sand. I don't believe I did any damage as I shut it down before it even hit 180 degrees but its unrealistic to think I won't pull sand again. Should I switch over to a completely closed system and eliminate the need to suck in any water?
Any other things I could try first (other than not hitting the sand
