Boat have been in salt water for approximately 3 months. Went to run boat and had to return boat to the slip going in reverse, because I could only make right turns moving forward. I performed a quick inspection once docked at the slip and found a 1/2 bolt without a nut just sitting in the hole on top of the rear jet. Since the water was murky, I could not perform a better inspection. Any Ideas on what could be wrong.
