[QUOTE="Disturbed, post: 452663, member: 23732"] I am working on a new boat just bought with a 50/35 Johnson on it. The grates in the jet foot are trashed. I could fix them or make new ones but I have a piece of UHMW laying around that I am thinking about making grates out of. I am thinking with UHMW if they do get bent they will just flex back. Has anyone ever tried this? I cant be the first person that has thought of this but I cant find anything on line about it. UHMW is pretty stiff but I am wondering if they would flex and cause cavitation. I am also thinking that if I do hit something with the intake grates the UHMW will absorb some of the impact and not put so much stress on the intake Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
