Yeah that happened to me earlier this year. The gf was bringing it into dock, and did not cut the motor in time. All kinds of rocks at the access got caught. But to be fair, it was not that she drove it up into the rocks. She just came in to close.

$200 to replace the O rings. Luckily the impeller was scratched, but not destroyed. I had this happen on my first one years back. So I knew enough to cut the engine as soon as I heard the noise.
