94 Bay liner Jazz

[Boat down again]

I have a 94 Bay liner Jazz with a 120 mercury sport
jet that i recently ran up on a sand bar or should i
say MUD BAR. as soon as i felt us run ground i shut
off the key. we had to push and pull our way out about
20 feet or so in shin deep mud and ankle deep water.
well after a hour we Finlay got out i turned the bout
on in about 2 foot of water we walked the boat out
until we got to about 4 foot then we jumped in we then
idled out of the shallows. as soon as we got into open
waters i hit the gas and nothing would not even come
close to plane it felt like we were dragging something
every now and then i would try to get a little more
power and nothing when i would throttle up it almost
sounded a little like the impeller was spinning free??
we idled back to the dock (about 10 miles away)LOL to
make my day better we ran out of gas a half a mile
away from the dock and here is the weird thing the
steering locked up could not move the wheel. WTF did i
do. OR CAN IT BE JUST PACKED WITH MUD

Yeah thats your problem, I have a SeaRayder with the SportJet 175 and that happened to me, you need to pull off your grate, and clean out all the rocks and crap thats in the impeller housing, if you ran it after you sucked the stuff up, there is a good chance you ruined your wear ring, and that will have to be replaced as well.
