Sucked up rope now boat won't start

[cschum]

I don't even know if I'm posting in the right place or not for a question but I have a 2024 Yamaha 195 s with a whopping 6 hours on it.
And had the kids playing around on the back. After telling them repeatedly not to get any ropes by the jet of course they did exactly that and I got rope sucked into it and wrapped around the impeller and shaft

After an hour of cutting and pulling and untying rope I got what seemed to be all of it out but the boat will not start now. Everything comes on, the stereo the screen, everything seems ready but it will not start and it will not turn over
Is there prob more rope stuck ?
Fuse blow out?

Not sure on your model but it sounds like you tripped a breaker or blew a fuse and I have no clue where they are on the newer models. Might try the search function on the forum to give more guidance. Does it even try to crank over? Have you looked into the back of the jet nozzle to make sure all of the rope is out?

No cranking over whatsoever. But all electronics come on when you turn the key. Looking into the rear and top port it looks clear. Can't see any more rope but boats in the water so can't see into the bottom grate
If there is still some rope left somehow

Checked read uses by motor but the main 4 are block relays so no way to visually check

Make sure your throttle levers are in neutral.

Also, make sure the two safety switches are engaging when you shut your wet storage/cleanout locker.

Well it is not really, but you have our attention. If @Julian would like to move this to a thread of its own, he will.

Been there, done that with the Neutral safety switch.

Did you figure out your problem @cschum ?

Also check your safety lanyard, it may have gotten disturbed in all this commotion.

I’m sharing this thread so you can show your kids. This story calls out the Captain. Please know that’s not what I’m doing by posting this. Just hoping it can get your kid’s attention. Also, I’ll suggest taking your boat out of the water and pulling the pump just to see what it looks like in there. It’s not hard to do. There are videos in the forum on how to do it. Please keep us posted.
