Have you ever tried to dissolve the biodegradable  packing pellets?  They 
get slimy quickly, but don't actually dissolve very fast, and quite slowly  
in cold water. Perhaps deploying these like shark repellent, in an area 
around  the kayak, would act as a warn off to the jet skis. Small, light colored, 
 dissolvable, biodegradable pellets, non-toxic, lightweight, and easy to  
transport. Think about it....

Thinking  about Joq's solution, I have thought for years that fine meltable
beads in  the water might get sucked into the engine- and freeze it.

Just now the  obvious ancient solution pops to mind. That would be finely
divided wood  chips. Perhaps we could commission a study. What is the best
material for  freezing a jetski engine. What we need here is floating  
gravel!
