That's a common problem with beaching , or running the flats. It's always good practice to shut down before.............and glide up to shore & wade out, before starting back up , sounds like a PITA, better safe than sorry.
Now it sounds to me like you need to backflush your system to make sure, & check your poppet valves as well...... it's a simple task that is commonly overlooked inexpensive in parts, but can cost you dearly, it did me once & I assure you never again if I can help it. Good luck! Peace! FIG

Nope, in fact I haven't installed the nosecone yet. I've got a Bob's cone, but been having second thoughts about installing it:rolleyes: Alot of the lakes around here are pretty shallow in places, and every now and then I like to see how close I can get the boat to the tent:eek: :D
