Hi, I have a G3200 and while using it to launch a seadoo yesterday, i went a little deeper than i had anticipated.....Now the gears grind pretty bad when i try to put her in any gear....I tried adjusting the clutch but it never helped..... Do you think that water in the clutch might be causing the clutch disk to spin with the clutch released? Thanks

I would be sure that there is no water being held in the bell housing by removing the drain plug (assuming it has one) or clearing out the drain hole.

I would also put a block on the clutch pedal to hold it down to keep the clutch plate from rusting to the flywheel

If dry and adjusted properly and still grinding gears then it may need to be split and clutch replaced
