Subject: 94 Bayliner Jazz with a 120 mercury sport jet

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
