[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 397188, member: 6937"] While the spacing may be closer together on the OEM grates, the downside is that they are made of cast aluminum, which means they are brittle. I have seen quite a few jet skis with broken tines in the intake grates. I'd hate to think of what could happen if I were to glide across an underwater object or rock, and have one of those tines break off and get sucked through the pump. :shock: :shock: That's why I made mine out of stainless, and made them longer than the intake opening, with the step cut on the back end.
