Hi all, qq regarding jets and rivers. We have a ton of locks to get anywhere, anyone experience any issues with suckups in locks? Looking for a new boat and want to go jet but concerned with firing up to eave the lock and possibly a higher concentration of junk to get suckedup.
TYIA!
 
Hey, @Dang , welcome to the forum!

I'm on Cross Lake in Memphis NY. We've been through about six of the locks along the Seneca River here, a total of probably 20 times in the last three months. A fair amount of debris in them pretty much every time. And we have not picked up anything yet.

Thanks for your feedback, I'm surprised there's not more ppl or sites with info. Likely going to take the plunge too.
