Sounds like the little paddle wheel is jammed up with sand. Look under the ski just to the side of the rideplate and you will see it.

Ive never heard of lubing it with silicone or something. What generally happens is it clogs up when you beach. What you should do when you launch is get the ski into the water and before you even start the engine up, bounce the back up and down in the water. This not only helps get sand out of the intake thus saving your impeller but helps keep the speedo wheel free of sand as well.
