does anyone here in town have a 175 watt pulse star ballast that i could try it on to see if it is a pulse starter

By watt's I think kari ment power so you are running a 175w bulb. It is a 10k bulb which refers to the color. If it's cracked than the bulb is screwed. You should be thankful that the bulb didn't shatter.

How close to the water did you have it?

A new bulb is about 100+ dollars. I wouldnt try to start that bulb again even to try it in another ballast.....
