[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 407523, member: 15465"] Hey Boz - Just passing along my experience with the top loader grate you showed. I found out the hard way why the OEM grate has tine spacing less that the spacing between impeller blades. I hit a gravel bed & before i could shut down i had rocks stuck between the blades of the impeller. It would still run but not push any water beyond idle. Was a long ride back to ramp! If you need the scoop function, I recommend welding in more bars to equal the spacing on OEM grate. Also see PSG's latest grate design, is very cool. Great looking tank. Did you weld it yourself?
