[QUOTE="Ride_Klein, post: 232319, member: 6976"] I definitely hear you on the permanent nature of 5200. Made that mistake a few boats ago on a part that only needed to be sealed instead of permanently bonded. The leak isn't around the pump housing, it is between the rideplate and the fiberglass ski hull. That part is allready 5200'd into the hull for better or worse. The little bit more I need to use won't be much in the grand scheme of things. Appreciate the suggestion of the toploader grate. This may be the suggestion I use, but I don't have any experience with them. Looks like they would be weed magnets in the real world? Is this the case? We don't run a lot of weedy water, but would hate to increase my chances of clogging things up. I wonder if majkowskid's project was cured with the top loader grate? I welcome any suggestions or experience from anybody that's used one on boat or ski. Hoping I can smooth the area in front of the pump with some bondo, and try a few spoon designs with some foam to see if they help load the pump up better. Hopefully a combination of weight forward, smoothed intake, adjusting the pump trim, and possibly a spoon will help my cavitation issue. [/QUOTE]
